27 Quotes by Austin Carlile

I'm not going to be like a rapper and mention the people I'm talking about in my songs by name.

I'm actually at home when I'm not on tour, and I have a lot of downtime.

I think that the people who put caps and the people who put genres on music are the people who are killing our music industry.

When I think of nu-metal, I think of Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot and even Chevelle - those types of bands.

I want to be the band everyone knows that goes hardest. Plays the hardest, parties the hardest, lives the hardest, loves the hardest, does everything the hardest, harder than anybody else.

I don't know why people have to categorize things in music under music. It's music and it's music and it's music. When you start putting genres on things, I think it's completely ridiculous, and I hate that.

If I'm not writing songs about things I've actually been through, it ruins the idea of making music to me.

Its disheartening to read the really negative stuff, but at the same time, I know who I am, and Im comfortable with myself.
