Being a singer, I can easily break facial extremities, but breaking my nose in Luxembourg was extremely painful.

I will say one thing: Mick Mars is one of the greatest songwriters I've ever met in my life and had the pleasure to work with.

Even if you don't like what I do, and you don't like my band, you might have a fan that likes both of us, and why would you wanna alienate them?

I was this little kid writing songs. I look back at having that dream, and it's weird. Being able to do it and live out your dream on any scale is amazing. I don't take any of it for granted at all.

I never anticipated seeing 40.

My whole life, I've loved '80s synth and goth rock like The Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode.

The image of the band has always been something that's evolved or changed with every record cycle that we've done. I think, in a lot of respects, that's because we were so interested in having a visual representation for the music that we were making.

I just don't really think about death.

There is nothing more, I guess, cannibalistic than the metal or the hard rock scene, it seems.

My job as the host of a rock awards show is not to be as divisive as possible, but certainly you want to be able to interject your jokes and how you feel about stuff.

I know what it's like to be an outcast in society. I know what it's like to want to find strength, and more importantly, I know what it's like to find that internal strength and rise out of the pain of being just sort of a weirdo.

The only real inspiration or muse that I have is just the life that I live.
Andy Biersack Black Veil Brides -
More than anything, I write about what I know. The experiences that I've had in my life and that we've all had collectively, that's what we draw from.

Our music is never going to stop someone from bullying someone else. But you should be your own person.

The Misfits skull was my second tattoo, and the Danzig was my third.

Without someone telling you what you are doing is wrong, you can't say what you are doing is right.

We want people to know they shouldn't feel like social pariahs just because they want to dress differently or listen to rock n' roll.

I came from a town of about 2,000 people with one stop light, and I was told that nothing I ever wanted to do, I would succeed in.

I didn't really get the chance to talk to girls. I was a straight boy with hormones kicking in, and I wanted to talk to girls, but they weren't interested in talking back to me, so there was a real sense of loneliness.

I think, on any given day, somebody could help out a homeless person and cuss out somebody that cut them off in traffic, and I think that everybody has that inside them: it's just how you live that balance - so I think everybody is 'Wretched and Divine.'

The story of my life publicly has been told through 'Alternative Press.' Former employees, people who have worked there - my friend Ryan Downey, who wrote for 'AP' for a long time - I've been able to have really great articles written about me and talk openly about things in my life.

I've always been a big fan of utopian, future, new-world stories - 'V For Vendetta,' comic books, graphic novels.

I don't really have any interest in allowing other people's kind of idiotic, unnecessary, either bigotry or hatred or whatever derision they have for me, I don't allow for it to really bother me, because I don't need it.
Andy Biersack Black Veil Brides -
I don't think we ever sat down in the early days and said "hey lets be a band that wears make up". I think it was just natural for us. We grew up loving stuff like Alice Cooper, Kiss, The Misfits, and the more theatrical stuff. I always loved rock stars. I loved David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and these people that were larger than life and iconic. I think that is what we always wanted to do.
