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.
Hayley WilliamsItโs sad when friends become enemies. But whatโs even worse is when they become strangers.
Hayley WilliamsNo boy is worth your teenage years!." "For me to be in love with someone means that I have to accept who I am, and not allow another person to define me. And if someone loves me in spite of all that, then that's a start.
Hayley WilliamsIf youre gonna put your faith in something, then it better shape who you are and what people see in you.
Hayley WilliamsI'm not a real crazy social butterfly - and once I realised that and I accepted it, I started to realise how many people weren't accepting of that.
Hayley WilliamsWhether youโre gay, straight, divorced, on drugs, a prostituteโฆ I donโt care. Be who you are and love who you want.
Hayley WilliamsSometimes, being happy or being nice can leave me feeling a bit hung out to dry. Especially if everyone else who I'm around is way more guarded.
Hayley WilliamsDon't let pain define you. I do that a lot... but we can fight it all together. That's what I love about us and our fans. we fight together.
Hayley WilliamsI believe music is a place everyone of us can go to. I donโt care who you are, where you were born, what you do with your life. Everyone can come here in music and be equal.
Hayley WilliamsI think all of us, at some point early on in our lives, knew that we wanted to create music. We are still really young and sometimes we do feel like we have to prove were as great as all the rest of the bands -old and young. But we just do what we love and people seem to be really excited about it.
Hayley WilliamsWell you found us strength and solutions but I liked the tension And not always knowing the answers when you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it.
Hayley WilliamsWhatever your pleasure, belief, sorrow or triumph... we are all human and we are all constantly facing some sort of brokenness. Of the heart, of finances, of family, of dreams... it is real pain and it canโt be ignored.
Hayley WilliamsThings won't start your life for you. I'm learning that. You have have to start your life for yourself.
Hayley WilliamsI was new, and it was like that movie "Mean Girls". This clique would tease me and make up rumors about me being gay. I don't even know why they did it. I came home crying one day and told my mom I couldn't be around them anymore. So we decided I would be homeschooled. I think it's important to check in with yourself and make sure you are being exactly who you want to be. When I am true to who I am, I'm a better girfriend. I'm just more happy being me.
Hayley WilliamsThe choices that we make aren't always perfect but it's ok, It's part of the journey.
Hayley WilliamsThis is sad. I just think itโs a little ridiculous we are still only looking at the surface of one another. Red hair? Blue hair? Pink? Blonde? Short? Long? Whatever. We might as well shave our heads. Hair has nothing to do with the reason we playing music. Itโs a style. Something that will never last as long as the songs we play and the words we sing. Listen up ladies in bands, Iโm so proud to be one of you and I donโt care if we all look exactly alike or if we are all carbon copies of each other. We have things to say and itโs up to us to get people to not just look but to LISTEN!
Hayley WilliamsDon't judge. Don't stay inside all the time. Get out and let somebody know who you are.
Hayley WilliamsSo one day he found her crying Coiled up on the dirty ground Her prince finally came to save her & the rest you can figure out But it was a trick & the clock struck twelve Well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick or the wolf's gonna blow it down Keep your feet on the ground When your head's in the clouds
Hayley WilliamsI learn every day what it means to love myself, and I'm constantly figuring out what makes me feel empowered.
Hayley WilliamsWhen the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. These take the shape of a long round arch, with itโs path high above, and itโs two ends apparently beyond the horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of a gold at one end. People look, but no one ever finds it. When a man looks for something beyond his reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Hayley WilliamsI mean, we did feel nervous, starting out, but I wouldnt say it was hard. We just did what we loved and thankfully it worked out for the best.
Hayley WilliamsYou can't plan to reach another person on a deep level, it just happens. So those are the moments that I think I really live for.
Hayley WilliamsLove that so many of you are saying your 2 fav bands are Green Day & Paramore. Do you even realize how cool that is for us to hear!?
Hayley WilliamsI like to talk about things when it pertains to a band. I like to talk about things that matter and music.
Hayley WilliamsThat was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love that does not exist. but darling, You are the only exception
Hayley Williamswe are to be brought through the fire, not left in it. and you know what? to anyone that ever told you that you're no good... they're no better.
Hayley WilliamsHonesty is what brings people to change and that's what i'm trying to learn in life.
Hayley WilliamsEveryone has their own story and thatโs something I hope for everyone to learn at a young enough age. Just because something is right for someone else doesnโt make it right for you. Itโs cooler to be yourself.
