You should love yourself. — Gerard Way

When you go, would you ever turn to say, ‘I don’t love you like I did yesterday. — Gerard Way

It’s okay to love something a little too much,as long as it’s real to you. — Gerard Way

You need just the right amount of ‘Fuck the world’ and the right amount of belief in something…and you need the right amount of love. — Gerard Way

I love watching ‘Twilight Zone.’ New Year’s Eve they do the marathon; I watch it every year. — Gerard Way

Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. — Gerard Way

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. — Gerard Way

Suicide is a serious thing. And if you know anyone who is suicidal, you need to get them help. No one should be in pain. Everyone should love themselves. Like I love you all. — Gerard Way

Comics are my first love, and I hate seeing an art form that I love suffer. — Gerard Way

It’d be cool to be a vampire. Vampires are the best beast you can ever be. Call me egotistical, but I love the whole idea of immortality. — Gerard Way

In those perfect moments you find beauty you never knew existed. You find yourself and you friends all over again, you find something to fight for, something to love. Something to show the world. — Gerard Way

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. — Gerard Way

Cecil Castellucci is writing Shade, who is the perfect writer for it. I love her young adult stuff, and it’s pretty hardcore and visceral, so I knew she was going to bring that to the book. — Gerard Way

We’re just as screwed up as you. — Gerard Way

It is not a band. It is an idea. — Gerard Way

I went to art school, and that’s how I got the internship, and then I started a band. But I always missed comics, I always wanted to do them. — Gerard Way

My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you. I always knew that, and I think you did too. Because it is not a band–it is an idea. — Gerard Way

Just keep fighting. because actually isn’t that bad. i mean, we started this band thinking that the world is Just extremely ugly but i think now we realize it’s more beautiful than we thought. — Gerard Way

My favorite band at the moment is the Dresden Dolls, they’re from Boston. It’s a guy and a girl. She plays piano and he plays the drums and she also sings. You can find them on the web they’re incredible. — Gerard Way

I went to art school and interned at DC, and then did the band. When that stuff comes up, you’ve gotta embrace it and run with it for as long as you can, and I did. I did that for as long as I felt I could. — Gerard Way

I’ve always seen My Chemical Romance as the band that would have represented who me and my friends were in high school, and the band that we didn’t have to represent us–the kids that wore black–back then. — Gerard Way

I dont think having a My Chemical Romance action figure will make a kid start his own band, I like to think it will make him save children from a burning building. — Gerard Way

Look at me, with my pretty bracelet and tiara… I’m a f****n’ princess! — Gerard Way

Life is but a dream for the dead. — Gerard Way

Don’t piss your life away with suicide…it’s a bullshit way out. — Gerard Way

Life is very, very short, and you can choose to live it how you want. — Gerard Way

The plan was that I was going to do comics, and then the music just cam up in my life and was a detour. — Gerard Way

I am living proof that no matter how bad life gets, it gets better. — Gerard Way

Let’s have a day in the life of Gerard.’ Going to get coffee! Going to get coffee!’ That’s all it would be. — Gerard Way

What I like about The Sims is that I don’t have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It’s fun. — Gerard Way

There was a moment in my life when i really wanted to kill myself. and There was one other moment when i was close to that. but even in my most jaded times, i had some hope. — Gerard Way

Life is very, very short, and you can choose to live it how you want. You can choose to dumb yourself down and not express yourself just so you can fit in, just so people won’t dislike you. — Gerard Way

To me, nothing feels more like being dead than being in your 20s and having no direction in your life. — Gerard Way

Sooner or later your life is going to flash before your eyes; make sure it’s worth watching. — Gerard Way

One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it’s worth watching — Gerard Way

I had no direction. I thought, ‘I need to make a difference in my life,’ and music was my answer. — Gerard Way

There’s something very romantic about self–destruction and sabotaging your life, and taking a hammer to it. — Gerard Way

I knew that I always wanted to keep making music, but I knew that comics needed to be a part of my life. — Gerard Way

Nothing is worth hurting yourself over. Nothing is worth taking your life over, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! — Gerard Way

Watchmen’ is not only the greatest comic ever written, it’s a really important work of fiction. — Gerard Way

Most times with vanity projects, publishers don’t believe in the work; they just believe in the name. — Gerard Way

Beach Balls at festivals, are the work of the devil! — Gerard Way

The Jersey mentality is: I work, I drink, I stay up all night, I try to meet a girl, it’s a waste of time. — Gerard Way

I do a lot of research, I try to think about how it relates to music and I just do a ton of drawing. It’s much easier to work your ideas out that way. — Gerard Way

Learning to be extremely disciplined has been the key for me. I work really hard during work hours and family really hard during family hours. Family does always come first though, in any situation. — Gerard Way

A lot of the other things in my life like making music, you know that’s a very collaborative thing so I work on comics because it’s not something that’s a solo activity. — Gerard Way

I’ve gotta get out of the basement. I’ve gotta see the world. I’ve gotta make a difference — Gerard Way

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’. — Gerard Way

The world is gonna try and clean you up; what you gonna do about it? They’re gonna try to make you pretty, what The fuck you gonna do about it? you’re gonna say, ‘i wanna stay ugly.’ — Gerard Way

As free and crazy as we want to be, and how much we want to make the world a canvas, there’s also a part of us that doesn’t want to make any mark. — Gerard Way

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. — Gerard Way

I just wanna kind of give the world something special. — Gerard Way

I learned that the world doesn’t want to be saved, and it will f**king punch you in the face if you try. — Gerard Way

Did Superman really want to save the world, or did he just feel like he had to? Would he much rather be a farmer? Maybe. Would he much rather be hanging out with his dad and his mom and his dog? Probably. — Gerard Way

I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone. Honey if you stay you’ll be forgiven, nothing you can say will set me going home. — Gerard Way

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. — Gerard Way

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. — Gerard Way

And after all this time that you still owe, you’re still a good–for nothing I don’t know. — Gerard Way

And what’s with the shirt? You think you’re in Fiji?’ ‘It’s like being on vactaion. all of the time. — Gerard Way

I was this weird loner kid who got drunk by himself all the time. — Gerard Way

The way I write is that, every time I reintroduced a character, I’d have to face some kind of inner demon. — Gerard Way

One time, Bert and I were making out for so long it wasn’t even funny..But then it was funny. — Gerard Way

If you go to a really great shop that stocks really great stuff and it doesn’t makes it feel like a super secret club there’s tons of stuff to find all way time. — Gerard Way

The best thing about wearing black is that you can hide pretty easily, unless you’re in like Hawaii, then you can’t hide. — Gerard Way

The Black Parade’ is an epic, theatrical, orchestral, big record that is also a concept album. — Gerard Way

The Black Parade is an epic, theatrical, orchestral, big record that is also a concept album. — Gerard Way

So how was Christmas for you guys? Did you all get lots of nice black t–shirts? — Gerard Way

Because one day I’ll leave you a phantom to lead you in the summer to join the black parade. — Gerard Way

The Black Parade only has two songs left. Then you’ll have to deal with the likes of My Chemical Romance. Personally…I think their language is atrocious and they don’t know how to dress. — Gerard Way

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! — Gerard Way

To me, the coolest, shiniest, sexiest, darkest, scariest thing you can be is pop. — Gerard Way

I’d enjoy it if a guy grabbed my ass. I guess it all depends on how he grabbed it, too. — Gerard Way

Now I have notebooks that are filled up, mostly with Doom Patrol, but also angry letters to myself mixed in with the comic. — Gerard Way

I don’t know if I could [do a TV show]. I would if it had nothing to do with the comic. It would be really weird and maybe not feature any of The Umbrella Academy characters. — Gerard Way

It’s cool if people want to make movies of stuff, but I’m really interested in the comics. — Gerard Way

It was harder to break into comics than it was to become a singer in a rock band. — Gerard Way

As long as somebody is guaranteed a certain number of sales you know you’re gonna keep seeing these vanity projects. I mean they have a place, they serve a function they can bring people into comics. — Gerard Way

The whole thing about comics is the reason I think you shoot to be a comics author is because it’s a very solitary activity and that you sit down and you’re arguing with yourself that’s kinda the plan. — Gerard Way
