I Was And I Still Am A

Teens Are Always Shown As One Dimensional. They're Stereotyped. When I Was In High School, I Cared About More Than Getting A Date Or Making The Team.

I Don’t Like Doing Interviews. I’m Not Pretending To Be Some Super Neurotic, Hiding In My Closet. I Could Care Less About Anybody Knowing Who I Am, But I Realize This Is Part Of The Game. Maybe If I Really Hated This Whole Public Thing, I Would Go Do Plays In Hoboken.

I Always Love To Put Hidden Messages In My Music Videos, Because I Know There Are People Like Me Who, When They Watch Something, Are Really Active, Involved Participants. I'm Not Usually A Really Passive Listener Or Observer. So I Do Put Those Messages In There For People Who Spend A Great Deal Of Time [looking For Them].

I'm Constantly Failing, But Not Upset About It. I Think There's A Great Deal To Learn From That.

I Think What A Big Part Of 30 Seconds To Mars Is, It's Not Only Music, It's Not Only Art, It's A Community. It's A Sense Of Having A Place To Belong. And Not Everybody Will Understand It, And That's Ok, It's Just For The People That Do.
