Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful. If you don't go to high school, you will definitely go to jail. I'm Gerard Way and I'm here to steal your boyfriend! I feel like theres so many people out there who have the kids in the palm of their hand, listening but there are so few people saying something. Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic's best friend! Everyone, spit on this motherfucker. Everyone, say 'fuck you.' Everyone, flip me off! I hope you're all having a fucking good time! Yeah, Frank is pretty sexy. We're all kinda sexy. Our fans definitely are. Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit? Hey, you see these sexy security guards, yes, very sexy security guards, well during this next song fucking get up right to them and push them over! A sock. I don't need this, you can have that back now. Show in Detroit, Joe Louis Arena after fans threw various "gifts" (socks) on stage Heh. A boa. I love these things... Show in Detroit, Joe Louis Arena. Fans throw red boa on stage, Gerard wears it during Mama. My favorite! While picking up a red boa on February 28th, Joe Louis. Fans had previously thrown a pink one onstage on the December 14th concert at Cobo Arena in Detroit. I'm sure you all have seen in the tabloids calling us some emo death cult. But I'm sure you know that we have never encouraged you to be anything than your fucking selves, and to never take any one else's mother-fucking shit! February 28th, 2007 Joe Louis Arena, Detroit The Black Parade thanks you for all of your gifts! Including the socks! February 28th, 2007 Joe Louis Arena, Detroit OOH, somebody brought a laser pointer, which is... magically disappearing before our very eyes. Nobody likes the guy with the laser pointer duuuude. *audience boo fan* It's worse than jerking off, that shit'll make you blind. show at Forum March 10 We are the Black Parade! Coming up next is My Chemical Romance...if you're into that kinda shit! show in Hartford CT 2007 (To audience)I saw a sparkler out there, that shit's gotta be illegal! That's ok though, I appreciate that sparkler. As long as you don't have any fuckin' bottle rockets I'm down with you, man. (To audience)I know something you don't! And that is... I'm not wearing any underwear! (Crowd screams) We're gonna get sexy for a minute! Ooh. Lemme see you clap your hands. At times there will be people out there who are willing to do anything to put you down! But don't EVER solve that with violence! Cause you're faster then them, better then them, and a HELL lot better looking then them! Playing in Stockholm, November 8th 2006 Mikey here thinks that nobody in here likes him... Playing in Stockholm, November 8th 2006 Who wants to go out...not out with me, out of the mosh." MCR Concert, Luna Park BigTop, Sydney, Australia. 26th January 2007 “What I did realize on the Big Day Out, and that is, that we don't fit in with fucking anybody! January 23rd, Concert at The Tivoli, Brisbane Look at me with my pretty bracelet and tiara, I'm a fuckin' princess! This is a weird lookin' room, like the shape of it...But there's nothing weird lookin' about you guys, thank you so much for coming out here tonight! Between songs while playing Festival Hall in Melbourne [29th January] I think a man who could wear a leather jacket and listen to Liza Minelli, is a real badass, that’s what I think. During an interview at SummerSonic ’06 When you're touring and the minute you tell someone that you're from Jersey it's the equivalent of telling them you just got out of jail. It takes me a while to tell stories. I think it's because I was drunk for three years. Alternative Press December 2004 For me, [being onstage] is me being everything I always wanted to be. It erases everything I hate about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel invincible. I feel like everyone else on that stage is invincible and we're capable of anything. There's no stopping us. Alternative Press December 2004 Frank: It's funny because when we were recording, me and Mikey lived together and I would go to Gerard after and be like, "I can't believe he did this today." Mikey: Yeah, I would leave the tea on overnight. Frank: God forbid that kid ever lives alone! Gerard: He had to promise he would watch him because he likes to do this thing where he'll take a heater into the shower and plug it in... Frank: Oh god! Gerard: ...and there's water everywhere! Mikey: I did that one time... Gerard: What about the times with the radio? Mikey: ...and I was pretty warm when I did it though. Uh, actually, we like to kidnap them in a van, and tie them up, and leave them somewhere dangerous. SURPRISE! When asked what kinds of surprises the band likes to do for their fans on fuse TV Gerard: "We have always had a desire to be a theatrical band, even when we were playing basements. You know we were the most theatrical band in a basement you probably would ever see." Frank: "It's true." Interview in L.A. Be yourself, don't take anyone's shit, and never let them take you alive." The album booklet for the CD “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” Well...it's funny you mention that, because I'm still living in a basement. I've just moved back in with my mom. When asked about life on the road and the transformation from basements to houses on MuchMusic. If you're gonna buy me a present, don't spend more than twenty five bucks, you'll get a blowjob anyway. KROQ, rambling after performing 'Prison' We're not a festival band, playing during the day was something we had to get over, I was like...uh, this sun stuff kind of sucks. I'd enjoy it if a guy grabbed my ass. I guess it all depends on how he grabbed it, too. 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 made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about. It tastes like somebody stole my wallet. Who is that worm? After a driver almost hit fans at a show on December 10. Gerard then proceeded to chase the car) Hey listen up! All you racists, sexists, homophobes, and just plain assholes, we've got a message for you...GO THE FUCK HOME! We don't want you here, don't buy our merch, and don’t listen to our music. If you have our CD, break it. We don't want you and we don't need you here. Warped Tour '05 in VA. Kurt Cobain was also quoted saying something similar, though not exact. Interviewer: “Organic or chemical?" Gerard: "Organic." Frank: "...Depending..." Ray: "Chemical, I think." Mikey: "Organic...wait, no, chemical?" Gerard: "Oh! Hell yeah, chemical!" Ray: "Nothing tastes good organic." Mikey: "Sweet 'n' Low." Frank: "Pears are good organic." AOL interview -- this or that Are you going to talk about my new love of raw clams? AP interview, December 06 It's insanely gleeful...This record is like running around a field of flowers with a butcher knife. Blender interview Fuck yeah; I’m going to get some comfortable pants! Why stop there? Maybe a nice cable knit sweater. Maybe I’ll buy a house for my thirtieth birthday next year. I’m gonna get a Dodge Stratus. I’m gonna go to Blockbuster. I’m gonna get whatever shower curtain I want. Because I deserve it. Blender interview None. I think we should send a country some cupcakes. You think some cupcakes would cheer up North Korea? Kill ’em with deliciousness. When asked by Blender what the next country the US would save should be I really hate physical violence, but there’s this one where this kid is talking shit forever to this other kid, and the dude gets into this weird jujitsu pose and just knocks him out with one punch. When asked by Blender what the funniest You Tube video of 2006 was Interviewer: "You're pretty young guys, what turns you on?" Gerard: "Wow, I'm not that young, so..." Interviewer: “Really? But you can still get turned on, I mean..." Gerard: "Bengay!" Mikey: "Uh, Coke Zero." Frank: "Good stuff." Ray: "Sleep!" Frank: *laughs* Gerard: "Bob, what turns you on, man?" Bob: "Slippers." Patient: "Well, I'm dead, so..." Interviewer: "Oh, I guess you don't get turned on." Frank: "My fiancée. That's it." Gerard: “Aw.” Ray: "Hey! You can't say that! You can't say it!" Frank: "You didn't say it!" Gerard: "You can't!" Frank: "Oh yeah, I'm getting presents now!" Spike TV Scream Awards interview, 2006 So, there’s been a lot of talk about us being a part of an ‘emo death cult.’ Well, I guess you’re in on the secret! At the Y101, Snowball 2006 Concert in VA Like the band really saved all our lives, so it's kind of our way of getting back with the band, is to try to save other people's lives. 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. The teenage daughter is my favorite, because I just had her go through this Goth phase. She's really kind of nerdy and she just became a concert violinist, which is pretty huge for the family. And she got into private school. But she started wearing black lipstick and she dyed her hair purple. It's pretty huge. People don't know if I’m gay, straight or an alien from outer space... it’s funny. Kerrang interview Well, he's my biggest inspiration, and not just as a songwriter, but as a human being. He was somebody who was very unashamed of what he was, and he didn't care, I mean, like, he'd dress up like a harlequin, rock half a mic stand... but, I mean, who could beat him? About Freddie Mercury On Channel 4's 'My Chemical Romance Profile' show, UK TV When this stops being special, when we become part of the problem, it will be time to quit. It can happen on the next record or five records from now. When this stops meaning something, we'll all walk away. 'Spin' magazine interview I was really bummed 'cause last year on Warped Tour I got a really bad sun tan, [---] 'cause I'm half Italian so I tan really good." "Really?" "Yeah, it's a bummer. Steven's Untitled Rock Show - FUSE (My Chemical Romance Make-Up Tips) There's this crazy band playing, basically letting him know that he's dead. Making the video for 'Welcome to the Black Parade' Coming up next... I have a knot in my hair. Interviewer: “Wild night out or romantic night in?” Frank: “Romantic night in.” Mikey "Wild night out." Gerard: *grins* "Wild night in." AOL this or that interview In the UK they're intoxicated, wasted. 2pm - wasted ... but extremely enthusiastic, really pure. Talking about fans in the UK - Fuse interview Canada's difficult to operate in, 'cause their money's all weird and funny. It's got funny colours and border-crossing's a pain in the butt. But other than that, once you get over the border, and you deal with the funny coloured money, everything's really awesome. Fuse interview America, of course, is America. We all know how America is. Fuse interview In England, I'm the extremo Morrisey. I don't know what that means. I guess, like, it's a bungey-jumping Morrisey. I don't know what it means really. Interviewer: "What are your nicknames on tour for each other 'cause I've heard that you guys nickname absolutely everything and everyone." Gerard: "Yeah, everybody has a nickname. Let's see, uh, *points to Bob* we call him 'Bob-o-san', uh, *points to Ray* 'Torosaurus', *points to Mikey* 'The Wheeze', Frank we refer to as 'F-Lero', and for some reason everybody calls me...uh, 'Uncle Jiggy'..." Australia MTV interview Interviewer: "Well if you guys were performing today, unfortunately, no your really busy you don't have time, but we would of flown Liza Minnelli out here for you." Gerard: "Really??" Interviewer: "No, that's total bullshit." Australia MTV interview Yeah, it's better than a blowjob. Big Day In Interview , Channel V Feb 18th I'm not psychotic... I just like psychotic things. Are you on our side and you want to be different, or are you on their side and you want to throw a football at my head? We're not rockstars--we're sick like the rest of you. I don't mind being extremely extraordinary onstage, but I'm not going to bullshit people. People will bitch and complain about us....'dude you're still making the same fucking pop punk record!' What do you fucking expect? Are you that surprised? Rock stars should give people hope. It's difficult watching someone deteriorating.....it's all about survival. But my hair has nothing to do with what I want to say. It's the needless fucking celebrity bullshit that makes it a grind. Hey, it's a Capri Sun. Anyone wants juice? It's good for you. Drink that shit. At a concert where someone threw juice on stage, Nassau Coliseum, 2/23/07. Steven: "I don't know how to tie a tie." Gerard: "Frank does, he went to Catholic School." Steven's Untitled Rock Show - FUSE (My Chemical Romance Make-Up Tips) Girl's capri breakfast pants...they kinda rule, though, they're really comfortable. Pulling out a pair of bright green capris from his suitcase on MCR's bus on MTV's My Chemical Diary at Warped Tour (only shown in Philippines) I don't want people to be afraid of living, which I think is everybody's biggest fear. I want people to express themselves how they want. If that means dressing up in women's clothing, so be it. I'm very opposed to intolerance, racism and sexism. Men are still being called 'faggot.' I see women being treated as second-class citizens, even in punk rock. So if it's happening there, it's happening everywhere. I'm very much into acceptance. Rolling Stone interview, Nov 30, 2006 I don't think I should say this, but Mikey was bootlegging Disney movies that were only out, like, in the Philippines -- like Song of the South and The Black Cauldron -- which he'd fucking sell on eBay. A private investigator came to our house, and he got nabbed. But they didn't throw him in jail. He was fifteen! Rolling Stone interview, Nov 30, 2006 Interviewer: "At this point, those marching-band outfits you wear onstage must smell like shit." Gerard: "It's the weirdest thing. They don't! We sweat all over them, but they don't retain the sweat or stain from the sweat. There have been times we went two weeks straight in them, and they didn't smell." Rolling Stone interview, Nov 30, 2006 Gerard: "30's not old. 30's like the new 20." Frank: "Yeah...for trees." Interview in London March 29, 2007. I was this hermit artist kid who was Mikey's weird older brother. We always felt we were much more of a rock 'n' roll band. All of us grew up as geeks, getting picked on and being told we weren't good enough. It's not meant to inspire you to acts of violence. Everything is a metaphor. It's really about two boys living in New Jersey who lost their grandma. On 'Helena' No one was allowed in there when I was doing my thing. There's a pageantry to rock that's been missing, and that's the ambition on the new record. About 'The Black Parade' Just blowin' around, (high pitched voice) blowin' around... Onstage at Wembley Arena, March 30th You dirty, disgusting, glowstick-loving, motherfucking animals! I just got so emo I fell apart. Talking about his action figure Everyone take a step backward on the count of three, one, two, three! Come on, go back! I am not that pretty! Telling the people in the pit to spread out 4/14/07 in Houston Making the Black Parade was the biggest challenge...met them in a parking lot, they brought knives, they cheated, it wasn't fair...I think they won. Talking about the biggest challenge of their year on At Much Music Live! (laughing)You know, little of this, little of that! Let's just say I'm good at the rodeo! When asked how he got into SPIN magazine, circa 2004 No, let me tell my story. You guys need to shut up. Trying to tell a story about Titi, a voodoo man, on WSOU circa '04. Hey Guys, We like to keep all of you in the loop because although you are fans we see you as our friends...I'm very proud to announce my brother's recent marriage. Watching him grow up into a man and finding love makes me the happiest brother alive. In light of this joyous event, the band has decided to give he and his wife a much needed break from the road to start a life and have a proper honeymoon and do all of the things a newlywed couple should do. I know this is upsetting news, as it is for us, but we will continue to tour with a temporary replacement until he has situated himself in his new life.We thank all of your for your love and support, and know you are all as happy for him as we are. See you on the road, Gerard. From mychemicalromance.com There's a way to avoid them see...oh shit, they have two of them. While trying to avoid one spotlight another shines on him I went to school in drag, in art school and my day was completely different because everybody thought I was a chick. You should see me as a chick. So I went as a girl, as like an experiment and it worked really well and everyone was really nice to me but I couldn't talk obviously...you know train conductors were really cool to me on my commute...HA! I looked hot as a chick! 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. I don't understand the 'cutesy frontman' tag I've been given. I just thought people liked me because I'm a crazy asshole. Question: "Bob, Frank, Mikey, and Ray are all hanging on a cliff. Who would you save first?" Gerard: "I'd jump too." 97x radio station interview in Tampa, FL Okay, um Mikey? This lollipop you threw at my head, it just broke, it shattered. FUCKIN' AAAA! ...This isn't like that one KROQ show we played where I couldn't curse at all. We got banned from Orange County. BUT I CAN CURSE ALL I FUCKIN' WANT HERE!

Introduing "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison" at KROQ's Weenie Roast 2005 How many ladies we got in the house today? *girls scream* ...It looks like there's a lot more of you than that. HOW MANY FUCKIN' LADIES WE GOT HERE TODAYYY? *girls scream louder* Now that we have your undivided female attention, I want you to do us a favor. You're gonna be going to rock shows for the rest of your natural life, right ladies? *girls scream* You're gonna see skeazy-ass rock dudes in skeazy-ass rock bands and they're gonna come up to you and ask you to SHOW YOUR TITS FOR A BACKSTAGE PASS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT YOU TO FUCKIN' DO? I WANT YOU TO SPIT RIGHT IN THEIR FUCKING FACE, AND YELL 'FUCK YOU!'" KROQ's Weenie Roast 2005 Today is special for two reasons. First: because it is halloween. Second: because it's Frank Iero's birthday! He just turns... fifthteen years old... At Halloween show on October 31, 2006 Can you flip that view screen around? I got some salt water in my eye. I'm in the shit for sure. During the Making of the Video: the Ghost of You Steven: "Rachel Reed wants to know if Gerard sleeps naked." Frank: "Yes he does." Gerard: "No, no I don't. Wait, what?" Frank: "He did when he was sleeping with me." Steven: "Whoa...My Chem exposed." Frank: "He told me that was how it had to be!" interview on Steven's Untitled Rock Show (SURS) during the Bamboozle "Live every day as if it was your last" 7th Avenue Drop on Fuse "We are all very--Ooh, is this a present?" Onstage at Worchester, Mass. on 5/8/07 Steven: [talking about Ville Valo] "That guy smokes more than any human being I've ever seen. H-his teeth are the color of the sun." Gerard: "He's a handsome guy, though!" interview on Steven's Untitled Rock Show at the Bamboozle '07 "I've got these bad-ass pajamas..." interview on Steven's Untitled Rock Show at the Bamboozle '07 Like 4 year ago, we played a show in Madrid, in a place called "MobyDick" and there was 15 of you portuguese motherfuckers and you made that show amazing, so I want to thank you all. Durin the show at Lisbon Coliseum, 24/06/07 You all've been very naughty, and that's a good thing. Gerard: I have a nihilistic attitude so it's like, the new gay...it's popular. You know what I mean? Frank: Popsicle is the new black. Gerard: What did I say? Oh yeah. Screaming is the new gay, everybody's doing it. Frank: I wish it were Popsicle. Gerard: Popsicles? Frank: Popsicles should be the new black and then everyone would have one. Mikey: I like Popsicles... Call me...anytime...just give me a call..because..uh if I don't pick up..I'll call you back..I promise. (10/25/07) After performing Mama at the Prudential Center ..And I looked into the mirror and I was like, 'You're still uncool.' And I was really happy with that revelation.
