“We were so wide-eyed when we started,” the Paramore front woman Hayley Williams tells Amanda Petrusich. “In the beginning, we would do everything and anything just to get to hop in the van and make it to the next show.” Read the full interview:
.” In a funny way, you have great, pure instincts at that age, but you don’t know to trust them yet; the whole world is telling you that you don’t understand anything.
Damn. I really do wish that there were guidebooks, but there aren’t. It’s the same with love or anything in life. I think about that Taylor Swift lyric you mentioned all the time, because some days I feel like I was so much wiser as a teen-ager. And yet I have a home, a household, I take care of a dog every day, I’m responsible for so many things. I’ve got a couple of businesses. I’ve never done business! Are you kidding me? I’ve been in a band my whole life.
With “After Laughter,” I didn’t know, you know? I wasn’t really aware that I had anything more than just some bad days. It was my physical health that jolted me awake. And, even after I started to tackle that, it only allowed me to make a few better decisions for myself. It helped me to get out of a toxic, bad relationship, but it did not answer any other questions for me.
I enjoyed aspects of it, like being able to perform whenever I pleased—just playing a song on guitar on Instagram or whatever. I watched Rufus Wainwright play a bunch of my favorite songs in his house. There was something that was so human about that. It made me realize that so much of what we do when we travel and play shows doesn’t feel human, because people only see a kind of 2-D version. They see this projection that you’re putting out.
