There was never a time when I wasn't making guitars out of cardboard or dressing up like the Misfits.

Whether I'm trying to or not, I have this inherent feeling that music is uplifting; it makes you feel victorious, and that makes you feel like you can take on the world.

We're not trying to shock people with our image.
-
I knew that my love for the Sisters of Mercy, Lords of the New Church and that kind of stuff, was never going to lend itself well to a direct interpretation in Black Veil Brides.
-
I've always been a big fan of utopian, future, new-world stories - 'V For Vendetta,' comic books, graphic novels.

There is no reason why a guitar player makes the guitar-playing faces. It doesn't help you play guitar. You've not improved your skills. It's because you're up onstage, and the natural inclination is to put on a show. The rock guy faces are just as much of a front or a show as us wearing crazy makeup. It's just a different scale.

You don't fall in love with a gender, you fall in love with a person.

That's what makes me insufferable to be around, is that most of my life I have assumed that everyone wants to see me perform and do things all the time.

If you nominate us for something, we're going to win.

To be honest, I've always been really interested in the role of the host, whether it's our kind of Billy Crystal-style traditional awards show host or when you have someone like Louis C.K. or a more edgy stand-up comedian do their take on a hosting role.

Always be yourself and rebel against what people tell you should be and be whatever you want to.

I like both antireligious and traditional Catholic imagery.

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 am a clinical zombie.

Our shows have always been sort of an all-generations thing, people from 6 to 60.

Lyrically, the most important thing for me is, how can I tell a cohesive story?
-
I feel that there is a culture being built that is a celebration of agony. There is also a celebration of being an outcast, to the degree that you are segregating yourself in a negative way from people who may want to be your friend.
-
I don't think I necessarily am prepared to write about anybody else's life but mine.
-
For someone like me, music is all I've ever thought about - playing big shows, and then, when you take something that is based around your music and put it in a completely different medium, it's a really interesting and cool emotion to watch.
-
Coming out of 'Wretched and Divine,' I was still wanting to explore the more theatrical elements of songwriting. That led to Andy Black.

As we grow up we learn that even the person that wasnt supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it gets harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and youll eventually lose someone you love, so take many pictures, laugh too much and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is one minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Love is a power greater than death, just like the songs and stories told.
