Performance art is about joy, about making something that's so full of kind of a wild joy that you really can't put into words.
I've always wanted my music to have that desperation, where you just want to strip your clothes off and run down the highway. I want the feeling where you don't really know what to do with yourself - in the vocals, in the production. Everything.
Even if nobody was listening to it, I'd still be making music.
Fortunately, I've never been very conscious and inhibited of what I have to do. The camera's my soul mate.
The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty.
I want to be silly, and that's being authentic just as much as being open and honest. It's authentic to make weird clown horn noises when it strikes you.
Sometimes a poem should just be about a girl jumping rope. It doesn't have to be something that is imbued with more despair.
Somehow, this child is gonna show me what to do, because I thought maybe I'll grow up by then, but no. I still just want to play around in my Crocs and tutus, so I don't know.
I do whatever entertains me. If it entertains me to throw flowers halfway across the room, then that's what I'll do.
Any artist should be grateful for a naive grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.
In some ways, we were very innocent. And in other ways, we were just rock 'n' roll girls on the loose.
I love what I do and the music I make and the bands I've done, especially Fall Out Boy. I also love what I love, and I don't care if other people like it.
I putt like I did when I was a kid. When you're a kid, you're not scared of anything.
I love the fact that people don't see the ukulele as a serious instrument. A lot of people see it as more of a toy, and I love that because it just proves that people aren't intimidated by the instrument. They aren't afraid to pick it up.
The most evident token and apparent sign of true wisdom is a constant and unconstrained rejoicing.
