Having kids had a big effect on me, but nothing more than when they started to get older- that really made me realize how fleeting each moment is.

More quotes by Frank Iero
Sometimes art is just about getting a reaction, that's really the end-all be-all.
Frank Iero
It's always awkward to pretend to play. I feel like Ashlee Simpson. Oooh, zing.
Frank Iero
I also remember the second band I was in ever. We were called Hybrid. We got a show at this local street fair, and we were playing on the back of a flatbed truck. There was an ad in the paper, and it said that 'Hybird' is playing. I was so mad.
Frank Iero
I've always been in bands writing songs with friends in order to play shows or record a future record.
Frank Iero
The future’s too bright to dwell on the past. Life moves fast, run faster.
Frank Iero
Festivals are weird, you never know what to expect so it's a bit more nerve wracking then playing your own show.
Frank Iero
It could be anything, give a homeless guy a sandwich, help an old lady across the street like anything to make this world a better place. If everybody just did one good thing for another person like a selfless good deed just think about how much a better place this would be.
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
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
My first show was when I was a high school freshman, but it was at the junior class dance. My older friend and bandmate booked it.
Frank Iero
I made songs really for myself - I didn't ever expect to put it out there and make this a record for mass consumption, this was really just a way for me to get out of my own situation and reclaim that part of myself - so when making the songs, I wanted a testament to what I'd gone through, I wanted a snapshot of those moments.
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
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
The messenger is not as important as the message.
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
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
Love what you do and who you truly are. Be willing to die for it. If you are true to yourself, you can never go wrong
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
These are dangerous days we live in and you, the artists, are our last defense.
Frank Iero
I don't understand how people can make such a fuss about people that are happy and in love, when there's people dying of hunger and war and they don't even notice that. I really don't understand that. That makes me so angry!
Frank Iero
