“I'm not drunk, just a little stoned.”
“I was more addicted to self destruction then to the drugs themselves ... something very romantic about it”
“Oh how wrong we were to think immortality meant never dying”
“I Just Got So Emo That I Just Fell Apart!!”
“It erases everything I hate about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel completely invincible. I feel like everyone else on that stage is invincible and we're capable of anything. There's no stopping us.”
“Be yourself, don't take anything from anyone, and never let them take you alive.”
“Suicide is a serious thing. And if you know anyone who is suicidal, you need to get them help. No one should be in pain. Everyone should love themselves. Like I love you all.”
“Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.”
“Never forget how beautiful you are.”
“GIVE ME YOUR REASON TO BELIeVE”
“Hey, girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That's all. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You're good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful.”
“Are you on our side...and want to be different, or are you on that side and want to throw a football at my head!?”
“If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.”
“I'm not psycho...I just like psychotic things.”
“If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see, you can find out first hand what it's like to be me.”
