Live your life, listen to your music way to loud, be crazy and as different as you want to be and always remember your not alone
Andy Biersack
Revel in your existence, crank up the tunes, be audacious and distinctive in all you do, and never forget there are others like you.
2.
I encourage all of you to find strength within yourself, no matter what. Be proud of who you are and never let anyone or anything take that away from you. Inner Strength is something that we are all born with. However, I've learned that it requires patience and perseverance to fully achieve it. I promise you, though, that as long as you know in your heart who you are and what you want from this world, nothing is gonna stop you.

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.

There's absolutely no one in the world that can tell you can't do something. You're the only person that can set that limitation.
Andy Biersack
There's no one else on Earth who can dictate what you are and aren't capable of achieving. Only you have the power to set your own boundaries.

We will be whatever they need us to be. Call us emo's, liars, and cheaters...tell people how awful we are and how little talent we have...do whatever it takes to make themselves feel better because at the end of the day, we are strong, we can take it. We don't need their approval to justify our lives. Each and every one of us has a fire that burns inside us and they can try like hell to put out that flame but as long as in our minds we know who we are meant to be, they don't stand a chance.

Please remember, that even in your darkest moments, you still have the choice to focus your energy on the positive and create a better life.
Andy Biersack
Reflect on the fact that, even in your most trying times, you have control over how you put your energies to use and can thus create a more rewarding existence.
7.
Life isn't about how popular you are. What girl or boy you are dating or who you know. Life is about always being true to who you are or what you believe in. Never let anyone convince you that their way is better than your way. In the end all we have is our hearts.. and our minds. This is the reason we sing.. this is the reason we cry... this is why we live.

8.
You don't fall in love with a gender, you fall in love with a person.
Andy Biersack
You don't become enamored with a sex, you become captivated by an individual.

Always be yourself, unless you can be Batman, always be Batman.
Andy Biersack
'Be true to yourself, unless you can be the Dark Knight, then choose to be the Dark Knight.'
10.
Be who you want to be and not care about what others think.
Andy Biersack
Be your own person and ignore other people's opinions.
11.
Find something that is a happy, healthy alternative to hurting yourself, as opposed to taking a razor blade to yourself because at the end of the day, you're only hurting the most important person in the world and that's you. And you don't want to hurt that person.
Andy Biersack
12.
Rock and roll is about having a good time, so no matter
where you are right now blast some music and forget
about lifes problems.
Andy Biersack
Experience joy by listening to some tunes and put your troubles behind you.
13.
Take joy in who you are, we know our wings are flawed.
Andy Biersack
Embrace your imperfections and delight in your identity.
14.
I had a goal, I had a dream... and at the end of the day no matter what people say to you as long as YOU know who you are as a person NOTHING else in the world
matters.
Andy Biersack
I had an aspiration, I had an ideal... and at the close of business no matter what people express to you as long as YOU understand your identity as a person EVERYTHING else in the universe does not count.
15.
Reverse petting zoo. You pet the animals, and they pet you back.
Andy Biersack
Reciprocal petting park. You caress the creatures, and they caress you in return.
16.
Every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Andy Biersack
Every sixty seconds you spend distressed is a moment of joy you'll never reclaim.
17.
I rather be divisive than boring. The last thing I want to be is a bowl of sugar free vanilla pudding, it's not something you necessarily hate but it's not something you ask for. I'd rather be something people passionately care about one way or another than be kind of in the middle.
Andy Biersack
18.
Never give in, never back down.

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

Where you are right now blast some music and forget.

And the people who say things to you about the way you look and the way you dress, they have nothing more to their lives. That's all they do, and you have something more in you.

Finally, please remember this. If you EVER need something that you can stand behind, something to help you to take on and deflect all of the hatred of this often cruel world, you will ALWAYS have Black Veil Brides.

Be who you want to be and not care about what others think." -Andy Sixx
Rock n roll isn't meant to be taken so seriously, I think sometimes people forget it's meant to be fun. A rock show is meant to be a time for people to have fun and let go of the drudgeries of life.
Andy Biersack
27.
Let love be your perfect weapon.

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

Aside from comic book heroes, the only real life heroes I had were musicians.

I noticed the different kids were always put down by other people and it would cause them to become almost violent with themselves. It's not really necessary; there's a way to find strength in yourself, and for me it was writing. That was sort of my release and my escape, so the term 'Knives and Pens' to me was like a choice. You can either create, or become violent, and maybe go down a dark road.

You are at home when you're at a Black Veil Brides concert.

Creating art or something beautiful makes you a more fulfilled person than they can ever be because they're caught up in what they hate rather than what they love.

I know that isn't always easy and that there is self-harm in the world. Sometimes it's hard for people to rise above things.
Andy Biersack

The people that tell you what you enjoy is wrong, or come in your life and tell you what you're wearing is wrong are miserable because they focus on the things that they don't like.

I make more time to have fun in the life I'm living before I'm worm food.

I see so many bands, that are trying really hard to write for a person that they've never met. I get the idea behind it and the idea of helping people, but I feel you help people more by exposing yourself.
Andy Biersack
43.
Black Veil Brides will stand strong for you we will take on the world's hatred so that you don't have to listen to your music way to loud and be as crazy and as "different" as you want to be and always remember you're not alone.

Something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind
Andy Biersack

I had a certain kind of disassociation from the other kids because I had more interest in sociology, ideas and trying to communicate those ideas to the kids around me.
Andy Biersack

I need to have something to source my energy to and something to remove me from my own weird brain.
Andy Biersack

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.

Me personally, I side more with punk rock bands. I grew up with The Misfits, The Dead Boys, The Damned, Dropkick Murphys, and early AFI. That was the stuff that really got me into music. Song writing wise, bands like Alkaline Trio were very important to me for beginning to write songs.
