"Machine Gun Kelly Tells Dave Franco About the Year That Saved His Life" (Interview Magazine)

[MGK]: But I came from a father who was extremely religious and extremely strict, and wouldn’t even let me hold my pen the way I wanted to hold my pen. That made me rebel completely, and cut off communication completely, because I didn’t want to have any common ground with him. I don’t want to have that with my daughter. Honesty is the key to that relationship. But also, as I grow, that same person who I was when I was 25 isn’t who I am now.

The willingness to finally be happy with my own self has invited a much more vibrant energy around us than before.

So sick. But, yeah, this personal thing, it just keeps... it’s like if you try to bury something, and it just keeps popping out the ground, y’know. It’s just like, haunting, and um...
