I've always had an element of melancholy that I should probably have therapy for, but I'm making a career out of it.
(Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails)
Those old songs - I like 'em, but they're just not where I'm at right now.
(Forrest Kline, Hellogoodbye)
I have no use for people who aren't willing to have new ideas, and aren't willing to keep an open mind about shit. I have no fucking time for that. Life is too fucking short to be like, 'Oh, you suck because you look like that.' ... I'm just silly.
(William 'wiL' Francis, Aiden)
… I think there’s a certain period of time in your life where you don’t know how to handle things and, I think, at a young age, having a substance to escape [with], that escape becomes your safety zone. And no matter what you’ve done in the past, it always comes back to haunt you. There’s no way you’ll ever get away from it.
(Spencer Chamberlain, Underoath)

... I often find people questioning my morals or my character, and I honestly feel no need to defend it, ever. [But] people take silence as compliance. ... I don’t think that anyone really knows me. I don’t even know myself. ...

There's this whole pattern of boys writing about how a girl hurt them or how much they'd do anything for a girl. It's like, get over it! Everyone feels like that. You're not writing anything special.

It's all about spreading the word and letting people know there is more to music then what majors shove down your throat.
(Mark, The Unseen)
Chaos tastes like the smell of a revolution.
(Jared Leto, 30 Seconds to Mars)
We'll always be who we are. We create this music that is the only type of music that we can create that comes from our hearts. And if it is presented in a way that the mainstream is exposed to it, then, hopefully, they will embrace us. As far as embracing what is mainstream right now? We would NEVER do that.
(Davey Havok, AFI)
[Daryl's] risking dying to be in the band, so what am I gonna do? Complain about losing an apartment or being in a credit-card debt?
