The older I get, the more I realize that you don't have to be around people you don't want to be around, and you don't have to be in a situation you don't want to be in. You have the power to rise up and leave.

More quotes by Aaron Bruno
I have a lot of questions and I don't have that many answers. So what better place to exercise those thoughts than the lyrics, I guess.
Aaron Bruno
There's a bunch of songs that I call B-sides on the record that you could argue could maybe have some potential commercial success with another artist, but for me, they just felt really whack.
Aaron Bruno
I want to surround myself with the people I care about and that has a lot to do with what love is. It's surrounding yourself with the people you do love and trust, and that kind of thing.
Aaron Bruno
Coming from heavy music too, it's really hard to have heavy music not sound too butthead-ish or jock-ish, and there's a fine line between Limp Bizkit and Nirvana - there's a fine line there, and it's terrifying.
Aaron Bruno
I don't know that I can say what exactly love means to me because it would be hard to put that into perspective.
Aaron Bruno
I can tell when something's real, or when something's put together. I can just feel it.
Aaron Bruno
When I cruise around, I can't help but study people's faces and emotions and wonder why they're feeling the way they are.
Aaron Bruno
I never wanted to do music to get girls, right, to get popular, or anything like that. I really love music and I want to make it better the best I can. I can tell when something's real, or when something's put together. I can just feel it. So I'm my own worst critic and harshest critic and I just want to put honest music out there.
Aaron Bruno
I just find that with music I've always felt a sort of comfort.
Aaron Bruno
I was in a hardcore band that had no melody, no chance of finding any success, and I was just trying to figure out what the hell I was going to do with my life. And that came out and changed my life forever - on an artistic level, and a lyrical level, for sure.
Aaron Bruno
You don't put out music unless you have a sense that people will maybe like what you're doing or you're standing for something artistically.
Aaron Bruno
My first attempt at real music was when I was 13. My first signed band was when I was 21 that failed. I got another deal at 26 that failed, and then I was broke.
Aaron Bruno
In fact, on a side note, after the success of the first record, I got asked to write for some pop artists, as everybody does, and I did a couple songs for some of these massive stars and the review that I got back was, This artist likes the song but it's too POP-y for them. I was like, What do you mean, I thought I was writing for a pop star
Aaron Bruno
I've had the same core group of friends that I've always had. We're surfing, so that definitely keeps you grounded.
Aaron Bruno
I haven't touched meat or anything like that in over six years. You know what's pretty trippy, once I stopped, I didn't get sick from that point on. I'll get a light cold once in a while, but ever since that, I've just been completely on my toes and it helps for surfing too, to stay light on your toes and be healthy.
Aaron Bruno
I've had the same friends I've always had. I mean, I've lost a few over the years.
Aaron Bruno
I've always found it pretty difficult to write a happy song. Since I was a kid, when I pick up my guitar it's been hard for me to write some sort of bubblegum lyrics. It's not really ever been my route.
Aaron Bruno
I've been through a lot of ups and downs. I've been on both sides of it all, I guess. So there's not one specific event or thought that I'm dealing with or drawing from necessarily.
Aaron Bruno
You start treating your body right and your immune system is better.
Aaron Bruno
My point is I'm kind of an outlier. For whatever reason, the success still blows my mind - that I'm able to talk to people about the music I've written.
