“We’ve always tried to switch the way people think about rock bands. That puts a dividing line between people. Are you on our side and you want to be different or are you on that side and you want to throw a football at my head?” — Gerard Way.
“Ladies, let me hear you holler! If you ever see shitty ass rock dudes in shitty ass rock bands asking you to show them your tits for backstage passes, I want you to spit right in their fucking face and yell, ‘Fuck you’.” — Gerard Way.
“You know, everything you do in life, you should take a lesson from, whether it be good or bad. So, um, you just chalk it up to experience and you just learn how to do it better the next time around. Like you said, like you know, we’re loving what we’re doing now.” — Frank Iero.
“We’re saying it’s okay to be messed up.” — Gerard Way.
Congratulations to Mr. Gerard Arthur Way for staying beautiful and keeping it ugly for 35 years.
“You are an attractive crowd today. How did you get so attractive? That guy is attractive. That guy came here to fuck! God put him on this Earth for one reason and one reason only… to fuck!” — Gerard Way.
“[The message in our music] breaks down in very simple ways: it constantly evolves. It is case-sensitive. In the beginning, it wasn’t a message. It was our therapy. Then, it became others’ therapy. Then, it became more about suicide prevention, keeping yourself alive. Next, there was a period where it kind of went on a crusade against bands that were full of shit, with nothing to say to you, you know? ‘Cuz there are a lot of bands that have nothing to say to you, just up there, going through the motions, trying to make a dollar.” — Gerard Way.
