“Yeah, man, I agree, ... At the beginning of the film, I look like Jabba the Hutt, and then by the end of the film, there are all these shots of us and we all look like skeletons.”
Gerard Way
“Oh yeah. People think we're fucking loaded just because we got all this bling on. Yeah, they think we're all rich vampires!”
“We might stop with 'Ghost.' We could easily put out another video -- we've talked about a whole bunch of possible songs to make videos for -- but we want to focus on doing some touring, and making a new record as soon as possible, ... So maybe we don't need to make another video. But I've always wanted to do a video for 'You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison,' so, really, who knows?”
“Yeah, obviously we use vampires as a metaphor for something else, something deeper than just the supernatural. But there's just something about the bloodsucking walking dead, that can say so much to people. There are really so many people trying to get control over you on a daily basis and steal your soul in some way, take a part of you...”
“How many ladies in the house tonight!? [Fans scream] Oh, sh*t... All you ladies scream! [Fans scream again] Now that I have the ladies' attention, I want to tell you something. Some day, you're going to go to a concert and see a rock star. He may look like me, or him, or us, or any one, and he's going to tell you if you show him your tits he'll take you backstage. And I want you... to spit in that mother f***er's face! [Fans scream] Because you are better than that!”
“That's what happens when you're all borderline psychotic and therein lies the beauty of this band - our duality. There's a duality to each band member too. There's a desire to have this constant conflict. If we write a write a song and it turns out really poppy, we have to make the lyrics really fucked up. There's psychosis to everything we do for sure. One day we're probably gonna write this number one pop tune that will be about a massacre!”
“When we first started out I had a really big issue and a lot of my loved ones had a really big issue with the fact that I was totally in pain up there and there was a time when I tried to hurt myself off stage, but I got over that. Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person and I think that that is going to be a lot of what the next record is about, not to plug it or anything. Like, it's going to talk about dying and coming back to become what you totally want to become. We are all becoming what we want to become.”
