Vic Fuentes quotes:

Growing up in San Diego, I can remember going with my brother to see bands like Pennywise and NOFX - good punk bands that were fast and tight.

When I'm writing, I separate from everyone. Even my band. I push myself, and I'm alone with my thoughts. Separating from friends and comforts and family lets you think a lot deeper about subject matter. Working alone drives me a little crazy, but it makes the writing as honest as possible.

My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me.

It seems like every time I break up with someone they try to take all my friends. It sucks because your friends are the people you need the most when you are in pain.

We get these really deep and emotional fan letters sometimes that are so heartbreaking or shocking or haunting sometimes that I can kind of relate to them in my own way and connect with our fans in that way.

It's all about risk-taking when you're making an album. Don't be scared to do weird things sometimes.

Sometimes I feel like there are just too many things weighing on my mind at once, and I can't control my thoughts or even my body at times.

I write lyrics everyday as I go. I'm always taking notes in my phone whenever I am inspired by something. Most of my writing starts out as poetry before I put it into songs.

Suicide does not end the chances of life getting worse. Suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better.

Whatever I did lyrically or vocally, just to try and get better at everything.

I think producers hate me because I will sing something 20, 30 times before I feel it. I always know when I hit it the way I want to, but it's really all in my head and no one else can understand it.

[Some] songs are all so detailed and in-depth that it takes forever to finish them.

I always have a picture in my head of what I want. I will literally do anything to make it happen. I will kill myself; I will run myself into the ground to make it happen how I want it to happen.

I don't see anything wrong with telling someone that you are selfish with their love and that you can't stand sharing them with anyone else.

You don't know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night, Scared at the thought of kissing razors
