Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.
Hey, girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That's all. 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. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching
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.
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.
It's a documentary that captures the rise and occasional stumblings of this band. It's really crazy, we had forgotten about a lot of the stuff that happens in the film. Like backstage stuff and concert footage. Basically, it tells the story of one really crazy year in this band's life.
It really doesn't follow a linear thing. It's more like you're getting little snippets of the story, which at the end should make up the whole part.
It just felt like we were the kids in the back of the class wearing black that nobody wanted to hang out with...I looked in the mirror and was like, 'You're still uncool.' And I was very happy with that revelation. And 'You're never gonna be cool so stop trying.' I had one of the best shows of my life that day.
It's like the drag fairy coming and saying 'Whatwould you like to do?' Um, yeah karate.
There's definitely a trashy, x-rated vibe to our live set. It's mainly to put off homophobes, but also because as seriously as you take this, you can't take yourself that seriously. so it's like aggressive, softcore gay porn. there's a little man love, maybe some smooching, definitely some crotch grabbing. I definitely used to f*ck the monitors.
I went to Japan not thinking I was coming back...I got on that plane, and I packed real light. I was so addicted to self-destruction, I think more than the drugs, there's something very romantic about it. I didn't pack anything. I packed show clothes...I thought I was gonna die. I thought I wasn't coming back.
If you come to one of our shows then you're a little f**ked up. That's okay. We're just as f**ked up as you
For me (being onstage) is me being everything I always wanted to be. It erases everything I don't like about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel completely invincible. I feel like everyone on that stage is invincible and we're capable of anything. There's no stopping us.
Just 'cuz you're bigger than me, just 'cuz you're smarter than me, just because you drive a better car than me, does not mean, no way no how, I'm sucking you off, for any amount of money.
