I think emo is f**king garbage - it's bullsh*t. There are bands that we get lumped in with that are considered emo and, by default, that starts to make us emo! (Gerard Way)
If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music feel different from anyone. View quote

What I Like about The Sims is that I don't have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It"s fun. My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don't know why I picked that name; it's kind of random. View quote

When I was writing it, I was remembering how hard it was to be a 16-year-old in high school. I always wanted to be an artist, so I was this loner kid who just got drunk all the time. I only had one real friend. There was a girl I really liked, and she ended up taking really sleazy photographs with her boyfriend, and that really crushed me, I was just swimming in this pit of despair, jealousy and alcoholism.

Craziest thing that ever happened to me was being attacked by a black bird. It pecked the shit out of my head. We were at this hotel called The Phoenix in San Francisco. We were leaving to go to a show the next morning and the bird just fuckin' attacked my head. And the next day Slipknot were there, they were coming in as we were leaving, and they got attacked by birds too. View quote

As free and crazy as we want to be, and how much we want to make the world a canvas, there's also a part of us that doesn't want to make any mark. View quote

People have evolved into something selfish, greedy and intolerant. People are unaccepting, because of religion, race, gender, sexual orientation... I've seen it in punk clubs, and I've seen it in the world. (Gerard Way)
Did Superman really want to save the world, or did he just feel like he had to? Would he much rather be a farmer? Maybe. Would he much rather be hanging out with his dad and his mom and his dog? Probably. View quote

I'm not psycho... I just like psychotic things. View quote

I've always seen My Chemical Romance as the band that would have represented who me and my friends were in high school, and the band that we didn't have to represent us - the kids that wore black - back then. View quote

The only thing I learnt in high school is that people are very violent and territorial. View quote

My favourite two festivals have always been the Big Day Out and Summersonic in Japan. The Big Day Out is a little more fun because it lasts longer. It's like an abbreviated version of the Warped tour because you get to play with the same people every day, which is really fun. View quote

I'm a big fan of domino masks, like Zorro, or Robin. You could put a domino mask on anything, and it becomes a superhero. You put a domino mask on a milkman, and he becomes, like, Super Milkman. View quote

To me, the coolest, shiniest, sexiest, darkest, scariest thing you can be is pop. View quote
Gerard Way
I don't think having a My Chemical Romance action figure will make a kid start his own band, I like to think it will make him save children from a burning building. View quote
Gerard Way
I've always had bizarre, negative feelings about anything traditional, like marriage and family. I never thought something like that worked. View quote

You put an old Misfits record on, and it sounds like it came out yesterday. (Gerard Way)

My parents didn't have records, they didn't have radios, and they didn't listen to music. My grandmother was my main connection to art and music. She could play piano very well, and she had perfect pitch. View quote

You can't be two people in your brain, one rock dude and a dad - there's something in the middle of them, and that's really what you are and that's going to make you the best dad - not when you try to be one or the other. View quote
