“We spent two years of our lives working on that record, and it was us against the world. We didn’t have outside influence or help, we didn’t have a label, we had us, betting the farm, and pushing ourselves there were times that it was overwhelming. Everything that was going on was brutal, but there were beautiful moments as well. There was so many outside influences that were in conflict that working on the record was actually quite peaceful. It was a case of survival, to tell the truth.” -Jared Leto
