"... So people keep asking me what this badge is for... this badge makes me the sheriff, the sheriff of Emo town, so get your straight irons and eyeliner ready!"

"Fuck...fuck...oh...I thought...I thought I was gonna go blind."

"We're gonna fuck y'all so bad that you can't walk. WE'RE GONNA FUCK YOU SO BAD THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FUCKING WALK!!"
(Max Pavillion, Singapore)

"So I'm doing my stretches; stretchin' my arms, stretchin' my legs, and this dude walks past and is like, 'Hey, look, everybody! It's David Cassidy!' Do you guys have any idea David Cassidy is? Well, let me tell you something... besides the fact we both have fabulous, fabulous hair there's a big difference between me and David Cassidy... I SUCK WAY MORE DICK THAN THAT GUY!"

"I have a therapist, we hang out, talk about Lord of the Rings... that's what happens actually..."

"Oh man, look at that! You tied it up in a ball so that it could get to me and everything! Now thats initiative! But you know what...I could probably get arrested just for holding this..."

(After a fan threw a balled-up bra on-stage, Glasgow, Scotland 27/3/07. SECC)

"I didn't get much time to get my feet wet so I ended up diving right into the deep end so to speak...and there was a hot minute where I felt like I was just trying to stay afloat. Luckily my editor threw me a life preserver pretty quickly--and, yes, I realize I just used maybe one too many swimming-pool metaphors, but that's the best way to describe the situation."

(Interview about beginning his comic book, The Umbrella Academy, with DarkHorse)

"Aww shit, they say Detroit is one of the toughest cities in the world, but today, Detroit, the girls have been tougher than the boys. And I know that I'm pretty, but I ain't that fucking pretty. Boys, let me hear what you got. One more time, boys let me hear what the fuck you got! Alright, you a bunch of animals. Now It's time we start acting like animals. Boys, this song is just for you. But I want you to do one thing for me, I want you to take, your fucking shirts off, just the boys! Get your shirts off, and swing it over your fucking head! I don't care if you a size 32, or a size 48, or a size 64! Holy shit. Look at all those shirts. Look all-- pull out, pull out with that bullshit cameras. Pull out! Look at all them fucking shirts! I think we about to turn this motherfucker around. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

"Everyone back the fuck up! I am not that pretty!"
(trying to get the crowd to stop pushing forwards, Houston, TX - April 14, 2007)

"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 I was writing it, I was remembering how hard it was to be a 16-year-old in high school. I always wanted to be an artist, so I was this loner kid who just got drunk all the time. I only had one real friend. There was a girl I really liked, and she ended up taking really sleazy photographs with her boyfriend, and that really crushed me, I was just swimming in this pit of despair, jealousy and alcoholism."

"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."

"Surrounding myself with fans makes me feel like I'm not going through it alone."

"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."

"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."

"When you're touring and the minute you tell someone that you're from Jersey it's the equivalent of telling them you just got out of jail."

"It takes me a while to tell stories. I think it's because I was drunk for three years."

"For me, [being onstage] is me being everything I always wanted to be. It erases everything I hate about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel completely invincible. I feel like everyone else on that stage is invincible and we're capable of anything. There's no stopping us."

"Uh, actually, we like to kidnap them in a van, and tie them up, and leave them somewhere dangerous. SURPRISE!" (When asked what kinds of surprises the band likes to do for their fans on fuse TV.)

"We have always had a desire to be a theatrical band, even when we were playing basements. Ya know, we were the most theatrical band in a basement you probably would ever see."

"If you're gonna buy me a present, don't spend more than twenty five bucks, you'll get a blowjob anyway." (KROQ, rambling after performing 'Prison')

"We're not a festival band, playing during the day was something we had to get over, I was like...uhh, this sun stuff kind of sucks."

"I'd enjoy it if a guy grabbed my ass. I guess it all depends on how he grabbed it, too."

"It's insanely gleeful...This record is like running around a field of flowers with a butcher knife."

"Fuck yeah, I’m going to get some comfortable pants! Why stop there? Maybe a nice cable-knit sweater. Maybe I’ll buy a house for my thirtieth birthday next year. I’m gonna get a Dodge Stratus. I’m gonna go to Blockbuster. I’m gonna get whatever shower curtain I want. Because I deserve it."

"None. I think we should send a country some cupcakes. You think some cupcakes would cheer up North Korea? Kill ’em with deliciousness." (when what the next country the US would save should be)

"I really hate physical violence, but there’s this one where this kid is talking shit forever to this other kid, and the dude gets into this weird jujitsu pose and just knocks him out with one punch." (when asked what the funniest YouTube video of 2006 was)

"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. My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don't know why I picked that name; it's kind of random. The teenage daughter is my favorite, because I just had her go through this Goth phase. She's really kind of nerdy and she just became a concert violinist, which is pretty huge for the family. And she got into private school. But she started wearing black lipstick and she dyed her hair purple. It's pretty huge."

"People don't know if i'm gay, straight or an alien from outer space.. its funny"

"The only place I'm really scared of was the Tenderline. I walked out of the bus in my makeup and costume and some dude on the other side of the street in front of a crackhouse yelled 'Better stay on that side of the road motherfucker, I'll knock you out!'"

"I'm sick of seeing my face. But I'm allowed to be sick of seeing my face, 'cause it's my fuckin' face. Know what I'm sayin'?"

"This shit is easy peasy pumpkin peasy... pumpkin pie motherfucker!"

"If you ever see shitty ass rock dudes in shitty ass rock bands asking you to show them your tits for a backstage pass, I want you to spit right in their fucking face and yell FUCK YOU!!"

"It's that women's cut.... they always fall down." (commenting after his pants fell down during a performance on Warped Tour)

"It's for the hamster that I'm gonna buy! This is so perfect!" (after opening a hamster wheel at Christmas)

"What happened was, I went right off the side walk and into the bushes, and I was all like WOAHHHH! And I killed like so many plants..."

Gerard: "I like Starbucks. I know people are going to hate me for saying it-"
Frank: "No, you can't-"
Gerard: "-but...it's so damn good!"

Cameraman: "Let's have a day in the life of Gerard."
Gerard: "'Going to get coffee! Going to get coffee!' That's all it would be."

"The song was called 'I Don't Want To Grow Up' and the lyrics are like...'I don't wanna grow up [high pitched voice] I don't wanna grow up'...'Not a penny will I pinch, I will never wear a mustache' -- no, sorry, 'I will never grow a mustache or a fraction of an inch'. And it's just this song..."
Frank: "It sounds kinda like a Descendents song."
Gerard: "Yeah, it kinda does! And...she made me this outfit...it was like, green tights. Everything I had built, I had destroyed. You know, I'd always wanted to skate in my old school, so of course it's a great idea to play fuckin' Peter Pan in your first year at a new school." (Talking about his grandmother making him a costume for his lead role in Peter Pan)

Frank: "You really have to love someone to...smell them at their worst."
Gerard: "Yeah...I get pretty gross, too."

"So many people are gonna treat you like you're a kid. So, you might as well act like one and throw your television out of the hotel window."

“Just to know that it's okay to be messed up, ‘cause there’s five dudes that are just as messed as you are.”

"I wake up in the morning and I drink a lot of fucking coffee all day and I smoke a lot of fucking cigarettes and it sucks."

"It's this kickball game, this is the most fun I've had. It was biblical, amazing, and dramatic and I fucked up a little but I was shh - I was good." [whilst drunk playing kickball during the Warped Tour]

Ray: "Did you kick him in the balls?"
Frank:"Yeah..."
Gerard: "It just hurt but I didn't care but I was wondering, I was wondering what he was doing over there in the first place and I was like, "Woah he's playing over here" and then he kicked me and I was just like..."What did I do?"
