Machine Gun Kelly

It's an honor to step onstage and celebrate the service and sacrifices of our soldiers.

I'm fortunate to have a baby girl who's super into everything that I say and do and really cooperative and just fun to be around. I couldn't imagine having a rebellious kid like me.

Honestly, I look in the mirror, and I'm not the greatest looking kid.

I'm a kid from Ohio in an industry that drives people insane.

I don't want to feel like the cool kid in the crowd who doesn't want to do what the artist's saying. I want to be so in awe of the artist that I'm literally jumping up and down, even if I've got on brand new Louboutins.

I think me and Macklemore exist in two different worlds.

I'm not one of those acts where it's, like, this mainstream person, where the average white kid at Harvard University is like, 'It's educational tonight. Let's all go out there and spend Dad's money.'

Puff is more of a mentor rather than someone who's directly involved in my movement or helping me put my album together. It's not like me and him party together. He's definitely more of, like, a mentor.

I don't think having a conservative mind in 2012 is a cool thing.

I don't think that my music without pain is good music - and I wouldn't know, because I haven't made any music without pain.

I'm a storyteller.

I think I've watched and been around so many people that are of a high celebrity grade that I've attempted to soak in every kind of way to deal with fame.
