"What I see in the mirror [is] someone that's overcome a lot. I've been through a lot and I genuinely see a fighter. I don't see a championship winner, but I see a fighter and someone who is going to continue to fight no matter what is thrown their way. I have a lot of confidence now because I have said the things I believe in. I know I can hold my own on a first date with someone, in a conversation with someone. That's what I see when I look in the mirror — a strong woman."

"I’m so fluid now, and a part of the reason why I am so fluid is because I was, like, super closeted off."

"So young when the pain had begun Now forever afraid of being loved."

"I throw all of your stuff away Then I cleared you out of my head. I tear you out of my heart And ignore all your messages. I tell everyone we are through."

"Girls can be mean"

"I'm a lightweight, easy to fall easy to break."

"You have a hollowed out heart, but it's heavy in your chest I try so hard to fight it, but it's hopeless You're hopeless."

"I knew better than to let you break my heart The soul you'll never see again won't be showing scars You still love her I can see it in your eyes The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie."

"You've got a face for a smile, you know A shame you waste it when you're breaking me slowly."

"I can't set my hopes too high 'Cause every 'Hello' ends with a 'Goodbye'."

"Now I know who you are Yeah, I see I should have known it from the start."

"I don't fall easy often I never had a love like you before."

"Why be afraid to make an honest mistake?"

"I'm gonna love you like I've never been broken."

"Paramore wouldn’t be the band they are today without the vocal talent and creativity of lead singer Hayley Williams. From the moment their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, released in 2005, her name has been synonymous with women who defined alternative music. With over 15 years of making her mark on the scene, Williams has continued to support other women by providing them a platform and showcasing their artistry on Instagram. She’s a force in the music industry and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon."

"Williams is one of the few who was unafraid to call out the mistreatment within emo, reminding people that it wasn’t always a safe space and refusing to become a “nostalgia band” by transcending the genre instead. The mark of a truly gifted frontperson is also their ability to speak out, and Williams has that in spades."

"I'm delighted to say I know Hayley and that she is an awesome girl. She's always up for being supportive and helping people out so it comes as no surprise that she decided to help me out with Jamie Murphy's competition. I have two passions in life - Motherwell FC and Paramore. I attend every Motherwell home match and I've seen Paramore nine times - six of those on the last tour they did here."

"First off, Paramore is the shit,I've always been a Hayley fan, and to work with her, that's another thing I didn't think would happen to me as soon as it did."

"We all learn to make mistakes and run from them."

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

"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"

"“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? . . ."

"stay as strong as you can and during the times you can't, let other people be strong for you."

"“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.”"

"This is what I've learned, in my life: is crucial. Growing up is hard to do. There's nothing wrong with wearing a dress."

""Boys! Hey boys out there: NEVER kiss a girl unless she says she... wants you to! Alright?!" "Never kiss a girl again. Unless she tells you she wants you to." (To the crowd, about a fan who just kissed her, and then to that boy)"

"I'm always wrong But you're never right"

"No boy is worth your teenage years!." "For me to be in love with someone means that I have to accept who I am, and not allow another person to define me. And if someone loves me in spite of all that, then that's a start."

"Love that so many of you are saying your 2 fav bands are Green Day & Paramore. Do you even realize how cool that is for us to hear!?"

"i have the ability to build myself up or break myself down. i stay positive. strength comes from within."

"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!"

"Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change, once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change. And about forgiveness we're both supposed to have exchanged. I'm sorry honey but I pass it up now look this way: There's a million other girls who do it just like you; looking as innocent as possible to get to who they want, and what they like it's easy if you do it right. Well I REFUSE, I REFUSE, I REFUSE!"

"If you wanna play it like a game, well, come one, come on, let's play. Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending; than have to forget you for one whole minute ..."

"When the moon comes up, I go down For the first time There’s a garden deep, deep in my heart But it’s blossomed for the last time"

"Can't stop flinching, everything is lethal Looking for a hero to get me outta this Can't stop flinching, tell me that you're ok Looking for approval and one last kiss."

"I want to go wherever you go because all the colors are brighter there and there is more magic in the air wherever you go, here and hereafter."

"I am skilled now, at casting iron To make a hardened bed for my heavy world"

"She walked down the aisle with all eyes on her and she glowed Someone chose her above all other women they had known I can only wonder what it must be like to be so perfect in a lover's eyes, the only one they see Well, it’s never been me, the chosen one It’s never been me If ever I see a chosen one I feel ugly"

"That I am one and many is at the heart of my dis-ease Yet I am one and many"

"Everybody sees me as a solitary entity but I long to be important to somebody It's a love of fairy tales that drives this guilty wish To walk serenely in front of family to collect my kiss and though this notion is as flawed as any I have learned I'd like to think that like the others, it's something I deserve"

"With all the confidence I have It seems I could go forever But forever has no rest-stops And my endurance sometimes fails Hold me, hold me, hold me in your arms Can you tell me how I'm gonna make it"

"If you stare into a flame You'll get an eye full of energy If you write your nightscapades You'll get a dawn full of promises"

""I can see the purpose now and all I've learned All the roads and where they've turned I can see, I can see everything, the total truth I'm ready for another youth." Going to fly"

"Come on down and see our Zoos and refugee camps Ain't it worth your time? Pity our emptiness Save our souls."

"He is broken, far from free Words were spoken, 'tween him and me: "I had friends, yes, I was admired I'm so old now, feel so tired." Well he walks to the gate and he looks behind at life in rewind And wishes he had known these things while still alive."

"Turn the lights down for a while And have a rock with the solitude Many worlds are born tonight Because the needy is everyone."

"My time's too short to waste on Things you say without your brain. Will you paint works of art When you speak? When you open your mouth Will I weep?"

"As I walk through fire I am shielded from the flame Although the guilty parties Take no blame. Don't try to tell me there's no Reason for any moment in time; Every memory of mine Those years are lines of Color on my face. My past is warpaint. The past is warpaint."

"Do I have to dig? Do I have to prod? Reach into your chest And pull your feelings out? Are you dancing dead? Or maybe walking toast? If you feel anything Be brave Come forth Let it show. Tell me what d'you think of life? Tell me do you think at all?"
