New Jersey, our home, thank you so much. How many of you out there are, like, long time MCR fans? (crowd cheers) That's right. That's right, New Jersey. How many of you guys are new MCR fans? It's okay to be a new MCR fan. (few people cheer, followed by laughter) Listen to how quiet it got...

"You could put a domino mask on anything, and it becomes a superhero. You put a domino mask on a milkman, and he becomes, like, Super Milkman."
"There's defiantly moments where, you know, we were asking ourselves, like, are we crazy?!? Is this pushing it too far, you really can't tell because you've become so attached to something, you're so in it, um, that you can't tell. But, um, i kind of have this theory like, if you push like way up, super far, you're always gonna end up a little lower than that, you know, so you actually have to overshoot, then, you know. Unless you completely lose your mind, and then you're going over, way over the top."

On TasteiTTV in early 2007, trying to say that he was just a normal guy
I can find real beauty in things, I was never able to do that, I thought--everything disgusted me, and I was [a] very angry little dude and I don't feel so angry anymore. I just wanna kind of give the world something special.

I had a dream last night about a flying van...
Gerard: "First time, I think--wait, let me think, first time I wore makeup was creepy. Do you wanna hear it?" Frank: "Mine's creepy, too." Ray: "I guarantee that it's you home alone..." Gerard: "Yeah! *laughs* I found some of my mom's lipstick. And the creepy thing was, though, that I was like, 16 to 17 years old, probably about the time I got dumped the first time, but..." Ray: "You should've known it wasn't right." Gerard: "It wasn't right, I put on some lipstick and checked it out in a mirror and I--it definitely reminded me of Rocky Horror [Picture Show] and I was definitely into it." Frank: "Wow." Gerard: "And I would do that sometimes after that. And then, uh...then came the clothes, you know?"
MTV VMA Virgins interview in 2005 when asked about the first time MCR wore makeup
Gerard: "This shaped me and brutalized me for a good four years. My first romance I met this girl, um, Barbara, and uh, I was like, this fat kid and she was this cute chick. She was into really cool stuff, like she knew about all these really cool bands that I'd never heard of, like Archers of Loaf and stuff like that and--" Frank: "Whoa..." Gerard: "Yeah, and...I don't know, she was just--she was really rad and I totally fell in love with her and then, uh, she went on vacation to Greece and uh, you know, because of that she had to dump me 'cause she wanted to have fun while she was over there." Frank: *laughs* "Oh, hussy!" Mikey: "You gotta have fun when you're in Greece, man." Frank: *giggles* "Hussy!" Gerard: "It was brutal--" Mikey: "Straight up!" Gerard: "There was moments where I was on the floor pounding, just bawling, drunk..."
MTV VMA Virgins interview in 2005 when asked about his first romance

Hostess: "Well I didn't know that, I feel really bad now." Gerard: "Yeah, well, you should...No I'm just kidding. Nah, he got out of here before he got too scared, so..."

I have a really weird shaped head.
You're all so nice to each other. If someone falls in the mosh pit, you pick them right up. If someone's crowd surfing, you don't just drop them.
May 16 at the Credit Union Centre show in Saskatoon, SK. (Said right as a girl walked by after being pulled down from crowd surfing with a bloody nose)
I wanna jerk you off.

But, wouldn't a cow be depressed, though? I'm just saying, I mean I don't know... if I was a cow, I think I'd be bummed.
Ah, look at the size of that fly dude! You could ride that thing. Ohhhhhh shit.
March 1 at the Allstate Arena Chicago concert
ATLANTA! Lets get hot! Oh yeahhhh.
Atlanta, GA 4/24/07
This song is called Headfirst For Halos. It's about blowing your head off! Don't ever fucking do that! That shit ain't cool.
Introducing Headfirst For Halos at the Bullets release show
Yeah so basically, I did this song...with...yeah, half a face. HALF A FAACCE!!
But seriously, if anybody falls down, you gotta pick them up right away, I don't care how much fun you're having, it is no fun when somebody passes out on the floor.
Atlanta, GA 4/24/07
No matter what happens, you never, ever resort to violence. You NEVER. Resort. To violence.
Atlanta, GA 4/24/07
Okay, we're gonna play two more songs for you, then the Black Parade is going to get in their black sedan...and go home. Back to Italy. My Chemical Romance is coming on after this. But personally I think their music isn't that great and they have horrible taste in clothing.
Atlanta, GA 4/24/07
This song...is about a disease...
Introducing "Cancer" at many of the concerts in 2007.
If you have seen any one that has fell on the ground I want you to stop what ever you are
doing and pick them up!
Talking to the mosh pit
Everybody back the fuck up! I am dead serious, I am not that pretty!
Houston, TX April 14, 2007
Gerard: "It was a good time. It was the salad days, like, you know what I mean?"
Mikey: "the Roy Roger's fixins bar."
Gerard: "The Roy Roger's fixins bar..."
Interviewer: "What is Mikey talking about?"
Gerard: "I have no idea."
Bob: Gerard who do you love?
Gerard:*Scrolls downpage* *Reads name* I love Megan Wadden? Mikey:Who the fuck is she?
Frank: "Has goldfinger ever had a flock of mooses advancing on him? It's a terrifying sight." Mikey: "That's not the plural of moose, it's moosi." Gerard: "Fuck off, it's meese."
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!
I literally said to myself, ‘Fuck art. I’ve gotta get out of the basement. I’ve gotta see the world. I’ve gotta make a difference!'
Spin magazine interview
This song is for anyone who is affected by this disease.

Annie is pretty badass.
When asked about his favorite musical.
We only have two songs left! So I want you to...really feel the music. Er...get sexy or something.
Columbia, MD 4/27/07
The Black Parade's only got two songs left, but next up is My Chemical Romance. If you're asking me, which you aren't, but anyhow, I think they're horrible dressers. And their language is atrocious.
Columbia, MD 4/27/07
It's important to me, to us, that our audience knows that they don't have to act in that stupid way that some rock bands want them to.
My Chemical Romance are from New Jersey, Thursday are from New Jersey, but the Black Parade are from Italy. Just so you know.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the United Kingdom's number one killing machine." [points at crowd]
Violence is never the answer!...Now, I hoped that you guys would know that. I only said it because I love the sound of my own voice.

I popped a rib earlier, so I might not be able to dance that much...

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!
Ft. Lauderdale, FL 4/22/07

Tampa 4/19/07
I'm a jacket slut.
I can't honestly say what makes me sexy...I don't feel sexy.
The flies on my pants are broken, but I wear them because I like them.
To the audience at Brighton Center 3/21/07
(After fans shouting) Do you guys, you guys have your own like, MCRmy battle chant thing goin on...? Is that what that is?? (Fans scream) That's fucking impressive, can we hear it? (Fans yell back "MCRmy, what is your profession?? OO OO OO!!") ... That's amazing! Give these guys a hand - Give the MCRmy a fuckin' hand! Most of you are probably all MCRmy in here. Thank you so much.
Radio One Show at Koko on 2nd of April 2007. Incidentally, this chant is from the film 300, in which King Leonidas is asking what his allies' army does. The few he asks respond with "potter" "sculptor" and "blacksmith". He then turns to his army and shouts "SPARTANS! WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?!" to which they respond with three loud war cries. This chant was started up by Melissa Hannah Green and Lauren Mitchell, two fans at the front of the queue that loved the film ('300') itself and knew of the band's love of Frank Miller.
You guys feel like dancing at all? You guys feel like hearing a bad british accent at all (fans scream) *in British accent* Do you guys feel like dancing at all, would you love to go dancing (fans laugh).
