Kelly: "When I came into the industry, and as I continue to be in it, part of my authenticity is the fact that I speak my mind."
Kelly: "Fame is the weirdest thing ever."
Kelly: "As far as I'm concerned, I don't really care anymore what people think about me. I'm just gonna be me."
Kelly: "I'm not that great of a speaker. I don't like watching my own interviews. I think I suck at talking, but one thing I can do is move my pen, and if that's how I gotta speak to my daughter, then let me do that."
Kelly: "The last thing I want to do is be complacent."
Kelly: "There's something about America's sweetheart and America's bad boy. That juxtaposition is what everyone desires."
Kelly: "I'm an anarchist. I have it tattooed on my stomach."
Kelly: "I don't believe in hopping from one social issue to the next to be a part of the movement for a moment. Anything I'm involved in is something that I would die for. I can't support things that don't feel genuine."
Kelly: "Is there someone who can play guitar better than me technically? One hundred percent. But does anyone look better playing a guitar in my generation? Absolutely not."
Kelly: "I'm here to make an impact on the kids who truly care."
Kelly: "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."
Kelly: "I would never think twice about marching next to my brother for an issue we both believe in."
Kelly: "Everything I stood for, forever, since the beginning of time, has been about seeing people as humans. Not as man, woman, white, Hispanic, any of that stuff."
Kelly: "I think, with music, I'm a lyricist who talks about real life things."
Kelly: "There's blackballing involved with Machine Gun Kelly, a lot of confusion about who I am as an artist. But that's so small in the wake of someone like Nelson Mandela."
Kelly: "Everyone in our clique rocks a black bandana with the print 'EST 19XX' on them 24/7. As the underdog, you are expected to lose or give up and 'wave the white towel,' so that is why our flag is black. We never give up - never surrender. EST means 'Everyone Stands Together.' The '19XX' is to represent any age."
Kelly: "When you look a certain way, or you have a certain presence, people take someone else's word over yours."
Kelly: "I'm known as a voice for a generation of people that don't have a voice."
Kelly: "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."
Kelly: "It's awesome to have a brand like Reebok support what you stand for as well as your creative vision, and I'm excited to show you what a Reebok and Machine Gun Kelly collaboration is all about."
