I learn every day what it means to love myself, and I'm constantly figuring out what makes me feel empowered.
From Hayley Williams
For me, embracing my own power is about embracing my right to be an individual.
Whether I'm being influenced by new music that I'm listening to, books I've read, my friends, or my faith, I'm learning all the time.
People perceive punk rock in the sense of Sid Vicious, all strung-out, crazy and insane.
I enjoy punk, the attitude as well as the music, but I don't feel like I have to be a carbon copy of it and invite all this controversy just to be punk rock.
I'm not sorry for who I am.
When I was in elementary school, I was a big fan of the zip-off pants that could be turned into shorts. The Delia's catalog used to be my bible.
I always knew I wanted to be in a band.
I know a lot of people think L.A. and they see a picture in their head, but those people obviously don't know me, because I sit on a couch every day. That's my idea of a good time - just being in a sweat suit.
I think it's important for bands to rough it. Whether you're in a van or a bus, it's still tough. You still have to stand in a two hour catering line with flies everywhere in the heat, and you still have to lug your gear.
