Hayley Williams Quotes
"I feel like in the past I’ve tried to appear like everything’s fine and nothing can really affect me. I think I thought I was just going to leave all my problems behind once we starting touring, and then I came back home and all those problems were still there. Any pain that I might have felt didn’t disappear. Coming back home and realizing that has taught me that it’s okay not to be perfect and not to have everything figured out, it’s okay to feel things that are shameful, hate and feel guilty. I feel like the message we’ve tried to stand by, is that it’s basically okay to have scars and to show them, to show that you’ve been through all sorts of things and have come out a different person and a better person because of it."
"I think that people shouldn't be ashamed to wear their scars, and show people, and even tell people "Look, I've been through lot of terrible stuff in my life", and there's no need to hide it....so, with the carnations, with everything like that, we all have that because we were all on five different paths and now we're on one path, together. And all of our scars will effect each other directly. So we're tied together, for life."
"I'll never be perfect. I'm not talking about just looks or things like that... but in every part of life... I'll always be flawed. I'm sure a lot of girls feel that way too and i know that dudes do cause i live with a bunch of em. Ihe greatest feeling is knowing that i don't have to be right. I've been ashamed and am still ashamed of things I've felt. hate. jealousy. lust. fear. pride. self consciousness. pure anger. pity. just plain hurt."
"I believe that I am a stronger person for those things that have happened in my life."
Hayley talking about Paramore's 'We Are Broken';
"I don't know, it feels like.. sometimes it feels like the world is falling apart, and a lot of people our age feel like theres nothing they can really do about it. so 'we are broken' is about that feeling and wanting to reach out for something to kind of save it all. cause everyone at some point is reaching out for something and for some type of hope. thats really the point of 'we are broken'. its just admitting 'everything is sort of screwed up and i'm looking for hope'."
