Never forget how beautiful you are.
The world is gonna try to clean you up, what the f**k you gonna do about it? You're gonna say, "I wanna stay ugly".
All we ever wanna do is inspire somebody to be who they wanna be and to give them a little bit of hope.
Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You're good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it.
I thought if we made an album that tried to change the world, or give it hope, it would really happen. But all people found was death and destruction and misery and self-hate. I learned that the world doesn't want to be saved, and it will f**king punch you in the face if you try.
The Black Parade has to go home soon, so you're gonna be stuck with My Chemical Romance. I'm sorry. That singer has a despicable mouth, he dresses funny, and he can't sing!
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.
I think that there are many ways in which people look for heroes, messiahs, things like that in society. I think some people are looking for something that maybe they don't possess. To me, ultimately, you are looking for someone who understands you, or at least you think understands you. It all comes down to understanding for who we look to as heroes.
Anything can be art. Anything can be self-expression . Now you take the weapon and run with it.
The best thing about wearing black is that you can hide pretty easily, unless you're in like Hawaii, then you can't hide.
Real revenge is making something of yourself.
Be yourself, don't take anything from anyone, and never let them take you alive.
Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.
Though we feel extremely connected through all this technology [social networks], there's also this disconnect that happens. Because you're not actually talking to anyone. You're not actually meeting them for coffee. To me, social media is about "you". It's like, "Well, twenty people like this thing I said", so that's about me.
