liking people ridiculed
People do get ridiculed for liking us or because they look the way they do and they're a part of what we do.
thinking people choices
I really think for the good of this world that, if I could have it my way, the whole world would be vegan and straightedge. So that's why I feel it's important to create an awareness of this lifestyle, create an awareness of the choices people make. To bring awareness about those lifestyles can bring a positive change, if only on the level of an individual.
cities issues people
There are only a few places that I go where people recognize me anyway. I have to be at the right place, in the right city. It's not really that much of an issue.
blood people mail
The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much.
drug-use practice people
Personally I have never found the practice of recreational drug use appealing. In fact, I have always found the lifestyle and the people who surround it to be abhorrent.
thinking people heard
I can't think of anything that people probably wouldn't already have heard of.
eye people looks
Look at who people are elevating and deifying in the public eye, and ask yourself what those people have done to receive such lauding and what it is they haven't. When you look at that you say, okay, are these people being revered for something of merit, or are they completely hallow? Or even worse, are they being revered for something that is actually destructive?
fall people parent
As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it, let it hold you until they come. I truly hope you enjoy the new record.
continue great
I mean that'd be great if we could continue to be staples of alt-rock radio. I don't take that for granted.
nurtured success
I attribute a lot of the success to Live 105, of course, because it's something they've nurtured and grown.
eight internal recorded
For us, the pressure comes from internal matter of having recorded eight records.
allowed closet effect family present side simply strength themselves whether wonderful
It's a wonderful side effect of what we're doing, to give someone the strength to come out of the closet to their family, or simply present themselves aesthetically in a way they feel happy with, whether or not their friends are going to be allowed to like them anymore.
attempt commercial enjoy far success
As far commercial success, I don't think that's a focus but it's not that we don't enjoy that. It's not something you can attempt and achieve.
apparel appealed article clothing grew meet music occurred pictures stealing thrilled type
That type of autograph, pictures and apparel thievery was not part of what I grew up with. I loved the artists and their music. I would be thrilled to meet them, but the thought of getting a scribble or stealing an article of clothing never occurred or appealed to me.
