These quotes prove that MCR SAVES LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From the band:
"Don't ever return to violence on violence. then you are smarter, faster and MUCH better looking."
- Gerard Way
"If you've been a fan of the band for a long time, you know we've always talked about suicide, depression, things of that nature. And we've always told you that if things feel so desperate, and you're so hurt you're so depressed, you find some person that you trust to talk to. That's something we've always said. But what we're going to say to you today is, that if you find yourself depressed, hurt, like an outcast, like the only kind of place you could ever fit in is in a show like this, that's not the case. 'Cause even though we're all outcasts in our own way we all belong to this world an we all fit in to this world. Do you understand me? We all have something to say, but you never ever say it with violence."
-Gerard Way
"Your going to come across a lot of shitty bands, and a lot of shitty people. And if anyone of those people call you names because of what you look like, or because they don't accept you for who you are. I want you to look right at that motherf****r, stick up your middle finger, and scream F**K YOU!"
-Gerard Way
"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..."
-Gerard Way
"This article said that people who listened to our music - they called you a cult. And said we promote self harm and suicide. You all know its not true. We want you to live. We want to save your lives. You saved ours. We never want to let a single thing hurt any of you. And you should all know, if you support us.. you are not a cult - You are a fucking army."
-Gerard Way
"Hey girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That's all. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You are good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, wether you're a size 3 or a size 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, aslong as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey girls, you're beautiful."
-Gerard Way
"This is definitely a band that wants to save your life."
- Frank Iero
"Be Yourself, Don't take anyone's shit and never let them take you alive..."
- Gerard Way
"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."
-Gerard Way
"On this tour, I saw someone in the crowd who was completely cut up. That changed everything right then. I'm worried that people might think they have to do something like that to come to our shows. That they have to go through that in order to fit in. I hate to think that there's anything about this band that would encourage anyone to do that to themselves."
-Gerard Way
"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."
- Gerard Way
"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 'faggots.' 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."
- Gerard Way
"Even if you stop believing in us, we'll never stop believing in you."
- Gerard Way
"I can't imagine any other bands having better kids than ours, and if they do at least I know our kids can beat up their kids."
- Frank Iero
"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 yourselves, and to never take any one else's shit!"
- Gerard Way
"Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary."
- Gerard Way
"Interviewer: Why should the world give a damn about My Chemical Romance?
Gerard: Because we give a damn about it.
Frank: Save your life.
Gerard: Yeah. Good enough for me, and there are so few people that actually do give a damn about the world."
"There's less violence in the world when people are using Hula-Hoops."
- Mikey Way
"The Black Parade is a big middle finger to the world."
- Gerard Way
