Hayley Williams Interview


Hayley Williams was interviewed by Nate Ruess of fun for Fueled By Ramen.

Not many people know this about you….but you’re illiterate. That means YOU CAN’T READ. Ah who am I kidding. All you’re seeing are squiggly lines. What’s that all about?

Moving along…you’ve spent a lot of time in cyberspace talking about how awesome I am. Go on…
Nate is a really great guy. When he wears suspenders he looks like one of the newsies. I think he should sell zines to fans waiting in the line at shows. “Extree! Extree! Bieber shaves head. World explodes.”

I’m always impressed with the way you treat everyone, no matter who they are. You seem to always make time to be gracious. Where did that come from?
I don’t really know… Maybe I just want to be liked. I feel grateful anyone cares at all. Life is a huge opportunity to interact with people completely different than you and find out you have even one thing in common. But if someone is a dick to me or someone I love, mama’s gon’ find you and take you down.

You guys are all incredible at your instruments. When you’re writing a song, does it immediately sound THAT good? Or is Zac actually a hologram?
Nah, it just immediately sounds that good.

You realize that if you and I ever did a duet, I would try my best to turn it into a duel. At which point we would just end up sounding like monkeys fighting over a banana. So whaddya say?
Have you ever seen the VH1 Divas live with Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin? I hope it’s a lot like that. Which was a lot like watching a Die Antwoord music video.

FMK – Lifetime, H2O, Snapcase?
Oh no… Ok… It goes like this: Snapcase (cause I have a thing for angry sounding dudes – only in song, of course), H2O (cause they’re sweethearts), and Lifetime (I love Jersey’s Best Dancers, great record, but killing them is the only option I’m left with. They’ll get over it.)

We loved touring with you guys, you’re all so nice, and it feels like a giant family that welcomes everyone. But whenever there was food at the venue, it was ALWAYS bbq! And you guys would act so surprised. Like “bbq again?” – that’s a front right?
I don’t have the slightest idea what you’re referring to… *shifty eyes*

Have you ever seen Ke$ha perform at an after party at some douchy nightclub in a casino? Weird question, I know, but it’s a standard question when I interview people.
Why yes, yes I have. Wait, actually, you were there. Yeah, I remember now… We actually decided to go and see her so that you could “show her where the dick is at.” Remember that?

Since you are bringing us to the UK with Paramore and B.o.B, I was wondering if you’d ask him if I could sing the hook on that one Weezer one?
Yeah I will. But that doesn’t mean you’re as good of a singer as me just because you got to sing with Bob too. You’re Celine… I’m Aretha.

This is my last question, thank you so much for your time…Give us a REAL embarrassing story about Taylor.
There is one that if I told you, he’d probably never speak to me again. Taylor talks and walks in his sleep.
