There's not a lot of art forms where you can control your presentation and your ideas.

I start my process hand written, and then I dump it in. It's like you're getting a second draft 'cause when I put it in the computer, I fix it and change stuff. That's my process. I picked that up from speaking to Neil Gaiman and Joe Hill. I was messing around with the idea of starting to write more, writing a book and doing things like this, and I reached out for advice. They were like, "Oh, we hand write, and then we dump it all in." I was like, "Great! There's no more blank pages."

If something was bugging you, you talk about it. But that's the cool thing: we [My Chemical Romance] don't bug each other. We just have deep discussions about art and music like friends. And we disagree about stuff but the disagreements are so healthy and intelligently thought out. We're very respectful of each other's opinions, especially about music.

Don't piss your life away with suicide...it's a bullshit way out.

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

I'd rather be a creature of the night than an old dude.

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.
