Gerard Way Music Quotations

My music is - I don't want to say my main focus, but it's what comes most naturally to me.

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.

Would you destroy Something perfect in order to make it beautiful?

Life is but a dream for the dead.

Give me a shot to remember And you can take all the pain away from me A kiss and I will surrender The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead A light to burn all the empires So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be And I'm in love with all of those vampires So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

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.

Singing songs that make you slit your wrists

It's interesting, there are a lot of similarities with being in the music business or being in a band, where a lot of it is business work you've gotta do, like emails. It's weird, I don't feel like I'm in charge.

I think that a lot of journalists don't really listen to music before they review it.
