I tend to just go for it, and not worry about what people think, and just really try to have fun with things.
Jared LetoSo I'm wearing that today. And I wore it yesterday, too. Maybe I'll wear it tomorrow. I just collect stuff, I guess.
Jared LetoSometimes you fall in love with a song 'cause it's new, it's exciting and you just birthed it. Then you fall out of love sometimes. But the strongest songs always survive and you come back and you fall in love all over again.
Jared LetoAll of my roles have had their own unique set of challenges, and I enjoy that in some perverse, masochistic way. Iโm always dying though! Maybe I have some kind of fetish.
Jared LetoPut one foot in front of the other. Keep marching forward, even when doubt, fear, and failure all come knocking at your door.
Jared LetoI'm constantly failing, but not upset about it. I think there's a great deal to learn from that.
Jared LetoHappiness is like the weather. Sometimes itโs rainy, sometimes itโs sunny, and you gotta just go through and accept whatโs there in front of you.
Jared LetoTeens are always shown as one dimensional. They're stereotyped. When I was in high school, I cared about more than getting a date or making the team.
Jared Leto[Alessandro Michele] is finally made clothing for men that is as fun to wear as the clothes that women get to wear. That's not often the case. There's a sense of joy and celebration in it.
Jared LetoI get a terminal dissatisfaction on films. If I was bad in one scene, it's impossible to let go. And it can make or break my day. If I drank, I would probably drink a lot.
Jared LetoWhen you are living your dreams it doesnโt feel like work, but itโs important to take some time away for yourself. Itโs goot to make some time for your own company.
Jared LetoI never look at myself as a closet actor wanting to make music or a closet musician wanting to act โ Iโm very proud to do both and I donโt put one above the other, Iโm very grateful and excited by both opportunities โ itโs really a unique opportunity to do both.
Jared LetoYou've got one life, live it. Follow your dreams, quit your job, drop out of school, tell your boyfriend that he's lousy and walk out the door. This is your time. This is your life. You know what? Dream as big as you want to, its the cheapest thing you'll ever do.
Jared LetoSo many people have tried to get happiness and serenity from outside things; it's pretty much common knowledge that is a road to nowhere. I've never heard anybody say, 'Fame made me the complete person I am.' Well, I'm sure people have said it, but nobody I respect.
Jared LetoA little ego can be quite entertaining. But [Alessandro Michele is] a very humble, gentle, kind person. And I think that his humanity would probably surprise a lot of people, because he's so confident and bold in the choices that he makes.
Jared LetoProfessionally, I donโt necessarily have to adhere to a certain dress code. However, I think that comfort is crucial. Otherwise, you wonโt be able to have fun and express yourself.
Jared LetoI always love to put hidden messages in my music videos, because I know there are people like me who, when they watch something, are really active, involved participants. I'm not usually a really passive listener or observer. So I do put those messages in there for people who spend a great deal of time [looking for them].
Jared LetoI heard today was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Canโt believe itโs been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure Iโd be doing this if it werenโt for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that. This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought Iโd share it now...
Jared LetoI only did karaoke once in my life. It was with Courtney Love and it was a total disaster. She pulled me on stage in front of 500 people at a wedding. I'd never done karaoke before.
Jared LetoMy coolest job was when I was 12 and I was a dishwasher at the Three Pigs Bar-B-Que for $2.50 an hour. All the fleabags and stoners worked there, so thatโs where I wanted to be.
Jared LetoI'd prefer 1,000 followers, friends, and fans that actually meant something, rather than 10 million that weren't engaged.
Jared LetoApproval isnโt necessary. Itโs nice when you get it, but itโs not going to stop us from being who we are. I mean, if Iโd have listened to approval, Iโd never have made it one day onstage. But to be criticized, if thereโs validity, as upset as you are, you can learn from it.
Jared LetoI was very much in my own world, never the popular kid. But I had a great family, a great brother and mother.
Jared LetoDon't you just want to make something that lives forever? Something that's phenomenal, something that's great, something that's undeniable? That touches the core of every person that hears it?
Jared LetoI used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house.
Jared LetoI wanted to be a visual artist because I grew up around a lot of painters and photographers and had a very artistic upbringing. And I fantasized about being a drug-dealer when I was a kid. I thought it would be a good opportunity; I knew that the market would be strong. Is that bizarre?
Jared LetoIn 1971, Bossier City, Louisiana, there was a teenage girl who was pregnant with her second child. She was a high school dropout and a single mom, but somehow she managed to make a better life for herself and her children. She encouraged her kids to be creative, to work hard and to do something special. That girl is my mother and she's here tonight. And I just want to say, I love you, Mom. Thank you for teaching me to dream.
Jared LetoThere are some people who might look better if you smacked them in the head with a baseball bat.

Jared LetoItโs about getting to a point in your life where youโre ready to let go and move on and become the better version of yourself.
Jared LetoWell, there was a time when we used to sacrifice goats, but then we all became vegans, so we've been sacrificing tofu before the shows!
Jared LetoI don't care if someone remembered me. Life is for living and memories for those who we leave behind.
Jared LetoThe truth is, that I feel alone most of the time. I stopped believing in happiness, but I know that music makes me feel good.
Jared LetoNever think about something wrong you did in the past, always look forward with your head up high; have no regrets.
