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.
If something was bugging you, you talk about it. But that's the cool thing: we [My Chemical Romance] don't bug each other. We just have deep discussions about art and music like friends. And we disagree about stuff but the disagreements are so healthy and intelligently thought out. We're very respectful of each other's opinions, especially about music.
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists
I am who I am. There’s no facade. No put-on. And being voted sexiest doesn’t concern me. Maybe that’s the sexy part.
To me, the coolest, shiniest, sexiest, darkest, scariest thing you can be is pop.
It's for the hamster that I'm gonna buy! This is so perfect! (after opening a hamster wheel at Christmas)
The only thing I learnt in high school is that people are very violent and territorial.
Comics are my first love, and I hate seeing an art form that I love suffer.
It's like the drag fairy coming and saying 'What would you like to do?' Um, yeah karate.
My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die.
I think there needs to be people that are doing something different in music. There's a need for that as much as there's a need for a scene.
If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see, you can find out first hand what it's like to be me.
Human nature at times is unfortunately very ugly and I learned the world can be a very ugly place. For as much beauty there is, there's just as much brutality and violence and ugliness.
I got sunburnt which is obviously a drag for me because in theory the sun is supposed to kill me.
