My mother is very, very smart and commands respect because she has a lot of respect for herself.
When advertising is great, it's transcendent. It's art.
I really don't give what I wear very much thought.
I tend to just go for it, and not worry about what people think, and just really try to have fun with things.
In 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.
All those reports that I sleep in my closet. I don’t know how people get that. People are so obsessed with what you do at home.
I think when Tom Ford was there I borrowed a Gucci tux one time, and they were very nice and he was very kind.
I think what a big part of 30 Seconds to Mars is, it's not only music, it's not only art, it's a community. It's a sense of having a place to belong. And not everybody will understand it, and that's ok, it's just for the people that do.
I've always been interested in leaders and rule breakers and artists and politicians
There are always going to be people that are judgmental that are going to say, 'Well, he was an actor first, so he doesn't have the right to be a musician,' or, 'I know him as this, so therefore I will never accept him as that.' I can't change those people. I can only be myself. And I can only keep making art. I can only do the best that I can. I am not going to spend my life trying to silence the critics. I'm going to do what I'm passionate about and follow my dreams.
I don't really care what people say. If I'm wearing, like, a tie-dye onesie and I'm in the middle of the desert, I'm not doing it for fashion points; I'm doing it because it's fun or it makes me feel good.
I 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.
Remember; the only way to fight negativity is with positivity. Stay focused on the dreams.
Your heart is like glass, if it breaks, it's pretty hard to put it back together again.
