Hayley Williams, the front woman for popular pop punk-alternative rock band Paramore, has been an icon for people of all genders, ages, demographics, etc., since the early 2000s. Hayley is notorious for her crazy hair colors and just overall badass-ness. Here are just 10 times that this woman just proved why she is a great role model and has the ability to say something that can just hit you right in heart.

"If you ever think about giving up, remember why you held on for so long."

This is one of her more popular quotes; it provided motivation and validation for fans suffering from all kinds of issues. Sometimes hearing something motivating from someone you idolize, like your favorite band member, makes them that much more special to you, and you hold what they say closer to heart.

"No boy is worth your teenage years."

I think all teenagers, not just girls, need to read this over and over again. It may seem like they were the only fish in the sea, but trust me (and your mom, because I guarantee you she has told you something similar a million times), there is a whole world of people out there.

"To anyone that ever told you you're no good, they're no better."

That just says it all.

"Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand."

This kind of ties into the popular saying "everything happens for a reason." Your struggles and mistakes help you develop as a person. Sometimes taking a hit can help you decipher where you actually stand and what you might need to change.

"This is what I've learned in my life: Headbanging is crucial. Growing up is hard to do. There's nothing wrong with wearing a dress."

I just found this quote kind of funny because if you know anything about Hayley Williams, this quote just speaks of her personality. Take it as you must.

"Believe in your dreams even when they seem lost."

Walt Disney was fired for not being creative; Einstein dropped out of school; Michael Jordan did not make his high school varsity basketball team. Never ever stop dreaming -- there are so many different ways to be told this. If you follow Paramore, you would know all the different roadblocks that have been thrown their way over the years, but they never stopped dreaming. Hayley never stopped dreaming. I think there are a million ways to be told to never give up on your dreams, but I also believe some people cannot be told enough to just not give up.

"The truth is, no matter what your lifestyle or occupation, nothing can really stop you when you're allowing yourself to be exactly who you want to be."

Listen here, college students: Don't let someone get you while you're down. If you believe in what you want to do with a major or with a career or in how you're living your life, do not let anyone get in the way of that.

"I'm not sorry for who I am."

Never apologize for being yourself; you are one of a kind.

"It's sad when friends become enemies. But what's even worse is when they become strangers."

I think everyone has at least one person in their life that this happened with. However, that is life and sometimes that may have happened for a reason.

"Be unforgettable."

I believe this is something that every individual should strive for. Do everything with purpose, have goals for yourself, do you, be yourself, and leave behind a legacy.
