A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder.

Wounds turn into scars and scars make you tough.

Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.

I think what's at risk is kids losing touch with being a kid. Being a kid is being defined differently than it was when you didn't have all this stuff you could put in front of your face.

Being a kid, as all kids do, you feel out of place or like kind of a freak. You wake up feeling like your head got put onto someone else's body that day.

When you're a kid, you have this feeling like you're indestructible. Your mortality doesn't even occur to you. But as time goes by, you realize, 'I better cut this out or that out if I want to continue to exist.'

Just because I do what I do doesn't mean I escaped adolescence, all the bumps and bruises that go along with it.

Scars show toughness: that you've been through it, and you're still standing.

I went through a lot in my life that scarred me pretty good. I built a wall around myself to the point where nobody knew what was really going on inside of me, including myself.

I'm not scared of growing up, but it just happens, doesn't it?
