More quotes by Frank Iero
It's always awkward to pretend to play. I feel like Ashlee Simpson. Oooh, zing.
Frank Iero
No one is born with hate in their heart. Hate is something that has been taught. It is not an innate survival skill that we need It is a form of stupidity that penetrates our minds and will eventually destroy us.
Frank Iero
Every time somebody ever told you that you weren't gonna amount to anything, you know, that's your time to shine, you know? You can show everybody and prove to yourself what you're doing is real and that it counts and that it makes a difference.
Frank Iero
Anytime you put yourself in a creative box, it's going to stifle you it's not conducive to the writing or recording process.
Frank Iero
I've always been in bands writing songs with friends in order to play shows or record a future record.
Frank Iero
I'm a big proponent of letting songs tell me what they wanna sound like.
Frank Iero
People don't always realize that a record is forever. It'll always be there under your name. You've got to be certain that it's right.
Frank Iero
The best music happens when you have a personal connection to it. That same philosophy can extend to the instrument you hold in your hands: if a guitar means something special, you're bound to do great things with it.
Frank Iero
Emo always meant emotional. Any kind of art or music should be emotional. If its not, than it's pretty much just a jingle selling bleach or pizza.
Frank Iero
I feel like you have to make art because you have to make it. But the end result of it- that last stage- you have to show it to somebody else to hopefully get a rise or reaction out of them- [to see] if it’ll affect someone else.
Frank Iero
Very rarely I create things and feel like I don't want to recreate them in a live setting. It's a completely different world, but at the same time that's where I've always come from. Enjoying that give-and-take from a live audience, there's a large part of me that's looking forward to it, and creating that relationship again.
Frank Iero
If you lose count of how many cookies you ate, the calorie intake ceases to exist. True story.
Frank Iero
The future’s too bright to dwell on the past. Life moves fast, run faster.
Frank Iero
About six years ago my family was affected by multiple sclerosis.
Frank Iero
Sometimes it's a little overwhelming to take on other people's stories, that's just the kind of person I am, maybe I'm empathetic to a fault, I internalize a lot, so it can be a bit hard sometimes, but I understand that that's what they need, and if I can do it, then I'll do it, but if I can't, then I'll try to take a knee.
Frank Iero
I think that's really the beauty of life, like, we're this collection of moments, this collection of experiences that we've had, or little tics that we've stolen from other people, it's like we're this amalgamation of all of that.
Frank Iero
You can only hold on to something for so long and enjoy it just by yourself, what's the point? It's very selfish. For better or for worse, I feel like the point of all of this is to make someone feel something.
Frank Iero
I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.
Frank Iero
There's lots of bands where somebody will write lyrics and somebody else will sing them. It works for a lot of people, but that feels weird to me. I don't mean this in a bad way at all but it just feels fake.. I guess in my heart of hearts, whether the person has a good voice or not I want [the songs] to come from them. I don't know why.
Frank Iero
I made songs really for myself - I didn't ever expect to put it out there.
Frank Iero
