Famous Hayley Williams Quotes

“I'm only human.
I've got a skeleton in me.
But I'm not the villian,
despite what you're always preaching.”

Hayley Williams

Monster(2009)
Lyrics

“It’s odd to look out there and see a bunch of Mini-Mes,” says Williams. “You’re wondering what possessed them to do such a thing... It sort of does a reverse psychology on you. You’d think you’d be like `Hey, all these people want to look like me. I feel pretty cool.’ But actually it makes you feel more self aware and I’m not really fond of that.”

and run from them.”

Hayley Williams Quotes about people

““I wake up in the morning and sometimes I just want to wear a T-shirt and blue jeans and now I have to force myself to do that, because I can’t care what people think, you know?...”

Hayley Williams

About the pressure of being famous, and a role model. http://everythingintime.com/tag/hayley-williams

“This is sad. I just think it’s a little ridiculous we are still only looking at the surface of one another. Red hair? Blue hair? Pink? Blonde? Short? Long? Whatever. We might as well shave our heads. Hair has nothing to do with the reason we playing music. It’s a style. Something that will never last as long as the songs we play and the words we sing. Listen up ladies in bands, I’m so proud to be one of you and I don’t care if we all look exactly alike or if we are all carbon copies of each other. We have things to say and it’s up to us to get people to not just look but to LISTEN!”

“Why do you care what people think?
Are you hooked up to their leash?
You know anklebiters ate up your personality
Try to remember how it felt
To just make up your own steps
And let anklebiters chew up and spit out someone else”

Hayley Williams

Lyrics

“If you wanna play it like a game,
well, come one, come on, let's play.
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending;
