Where my heart lies is in the real-life, but at the same time part of it lies in this creative realm where I need to go in and put out that fire, scratch that itch, in order to be all rounded.

I've always been in bands writing songs with friends in order to play shows or record a future record.

My name is Frank Iero and I hate mushrooms. All mushrooms. No matter how they're prepared, I feel like they're all slimy and they taste like dirt.

We're all gonna land, we don't have rocket packs that last forever. But these things that we love, these things that give us purpose, these moments along the way are our parachutes. So I feel very fortunate to have all of these. Art and my family are pretty much my biggest parachutes.

It's always awkward to pretend to play. I feel like Ashlee Simpson. Oooh, zing.

I made songs really for myself - I didn't ever expect to put it out there.

Anytime you put yourself in a creative box, it's going to stifle you; it's not conducive to the writing or recording process.
