Alex Gaskarth Quotes

“Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone you're not takes a toll on the real you, and the real you is more important than anyone else.”

“I think people should be able to love whoever the fuck they wanna love. And no matter what you believe, you should be allowed to live your life the way you wanna live it.”

“Believe whatever you want to believe. Love whoever you want to love. Fucking dance whenever you want to dance.”

“Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead is where we truly belong. Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will someday end, but that most only live to follow directions and sometimes we end up lost.”

“We don't offer you any solutions necessarily but we definitely offer you a minute to escape.”

“I am in control of no one but myself, or so I've been told, over and over again, but low and behold, some scholars are liars. Who would have thunk that the educated could be so misleading, in times when all a kid needs, is to be told that at some point in life, we all lose our minds.”

“I'll never second guess the things that I have done. I've got too much left to say and too much to become.”

“I'm not even on drugs, I'm just weird.”

“The closest friends are the ones you'd take a bullet for, but they're the ones you constantly feel you could put a bullet through as well.”

“What I mean is that there are things - simple things - that without our knowing, mean the world to us and when they change, they change for our own good, because whether we like it or not, we are looking out for ourselves. We do it unconsciously - But we do it. We do it to stay happy and to stay alive… And above all else, that's what matters.
On this note, I'd like to attempt to make my point - Don't throw yourself out on another’s whim. People change, as do intentions and as a result, consequences. Live for yourself - love those around you, but realize that they've got their own agendas.”

“Dreams don't always have to exist while the sun's down and your eyes are shut.”

“Six Feet Under The Stars is a place that doesn't exist. It’s a place in your mind where everything and anything is possible. It's a place with no rules or limitations. It's a place where only two people can be at any time. Where no one can judge them and no one could try to break them apart.”

“It's funny how the littlest things can make you feel larger than life; the right lyric, the most heartfelt melody, the clearest message. Love.”

“This song goes out to anyone whose ever been told that how you think or feel is wrong. It goes out to everyone who's ever felt alone. It goes out to anybody who's fucking sick and tired of being told what to do. You are, the most important person in the world. Every single one of you. Don't let anybody tell you differently, okay?”

“This next song goes out to anybody who's ever been told that the way that they think or the way that they feel is the wrong way to think or the wrong way to feel. Goes out to anybody who's ever been pushed down, held back, walked on… Anybody who doesn't feel comfortable in their own skin, anybody…everybody - It goes out to everybody. It goes out to all of you! And the reason it goes out to all of you is because every single one of you is fucking beautiful. I've noticed that there's a lot of people in the world trying to tell other people that they're not beautiful. And I don't stand for that, I think that's bullshit. Each and every single one of you are gorgeous, believe in yourselves. This song goes out to all of you. It's called ‘Therapy’.”

“Therapy is every kids' nightmare. When everyone is telling you you need help and all you really want is a hug.”

“I'll never deny a hug to a fan while my heart still beating.”

“Music is a matter of taste. Bitching at someone for liking a certain style of music is like yelling at someone for liking broccoli with melted cheese (which, might I add, is awesome). I don't understand why there are so many snobs out there who deem it necessary to force-feed their opinions to others, and claim that their experience in the matter makes their statement any more credible than the next, when, as I said before, it's all a matter of taste. If you dig it, awesome. If you don't, awesome. It's just another plate being server at the world biggest (in this case musical) buffet. Don't make some kid feel guilty for listening to what he/she enjoys.”

“Music is the soundtrack to every good and bad time we will ever have.”

“Never underestimate a girl's love for her favorite band. Never think even for a minute, that she won't defend them to her death. Because it’s not just the music that makes that band her favorite. It's the guys, the gals. It's the fans. People whom of which she has interacted with thanks to the band. That band might of saved her life, or just made her smile everyday. That band has never broke her heart and has yet to leave her. No wonder she finds such joy in her music.”

“Loving a band with all your heart is something you understand when it happens to you. On the surface, others can see it as a petty obsession, but they'll just never know the feeling of putting so much faith into a few people on the other side of the world. It's hard to explain it to them, the listening to a song on repeat, the waits for new albums, the excitement and surreal sensation when you finally see them live. They don't understand why the lyrics booklets give you a sense of comfort, or why you paste photos of them all over your bedroom walls. And they cant understand why one band could matter to you so much. And you think to yourself. Because they saved my life. But you say nothing, they wouldn't understand.”

“Finding the perfect person won't make you fall in love. When you see an imperfect person perfectly, that's love.”
