Frank Iero Quotes

I don't know which was the first love - music or fashion.

In a lot of the art world, you have to present yourself as you know what you're doing at a young age. Music gave me another outlet. The 'no wave' bands were such an inspiration; it felt so free - once you start doing it, it's hard to stop. But I can't get away from art. It comes back around. I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't pursue it.

If I walk away from music, I walk away from myself.

Music I can discover a part of myself that I haven't been able to for a long time, and acting is the opposite. I'm in love with both of them and I would never choose one over the other.

Art is my life and my life is art.

I can't imagine life without singing.

I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.

If I stopped writing and being at my piano, I wouldn't know how to live. It's your best friend.

Music is my life.

I rarely drink, I don't smoke, so my vice is probably creating. I'm addicted to creating. And women.

The music itself could never take the place of my own passion in life.

I think that art, and making music or comedy, is a way of positing yourself on the map and then trying to find other people out there with you.

I love creating. I had been really into photography when I was in college.

I don't feel so alive if I'm not being creative.

Playing and listening to music gives you a sense of fulfilment because you have to put everything in you at its disposal.

When I started doing music, it was out of despair and boredom. I got passionate about it, and I felt that it allowed me to become somebody: an artist who explores her different identities.

Music is where I'm still. It's where I'm focused. It's such a joy. I'd like to make it a big part of my life.

I would do a sort of violence to myself if I didn't express myself in the directly creative ways of writing, both words and music.

My artistry is my baby.

I just love music - I was always singing and dancing.

Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.

I didn't do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer.

For me, singing was real life, not two plus two equals four.

Being able to express myself through music and art has always been when I feel the most alive.

I play music, I paint - these things come from your depths.
