Mikey Way Quotations

Were really greedy about the electricity in our iPods. We hoard it. Were like, Yo, Im only on half a f**k battery and I have a plane ride!

Yeah, I had a headache, really bad. I was in a gas station and there was a pot of coffee and I looked at it for about a minute and then my brother (motions at Gerard) got a coffee and he taunted me.

We're very attractive to them because we dress likehomeless people.

We're very attractive to them because we dress like homeless people.

There's absolutely a movement of a return to rock. Sometimes the good guys win. Kids are sick of the (expletive) pop and sick of being lied to. Everyone wants something real, something that was created to invoke a positive feeling.

It's me and Gerard on the porch, talking about how Gerard's not cool!

Its hard to break out of Routines there, If I wasn't in this band, I'd probably be stuck doing some retail job. We lived near malls, and that's just what you would do. A lot of people I know ended up as, like, a manager at the Gap.

The mastermind, the man with the plan

The interesting thing about a song like 'Bulletproof Heart' - it was [originally] called 'Trans Am' - the interesting thing about the amalgamation of that song was that the song also lived within us, like we all got to live with the song and it was around for about a year before we recorded it again, so the song got to really transform, which you don't really get to do.

Some of my favourites... there's the classics like Blur and Oasis and Pulp, Suede and The Charlatans, The La's, The Smiths, The Cure, stuff like that. That was a huge part of my teen-years and bands I still listen to right through to this day, but it had a huge bearing on me as a teen and it was some of my favourite music, and is still to this day some of my favourite music.

We're kinda always writing, so it's like we're always thinking about what's next, so that'd be a yes. We're always constantly wanting to get onto the next thing or the new thing.

Bringing production to a festival can be tricky sometimes.

Big Day Out is one of our favourite festivals, it's such an eclectic mix of so many different things and it's really about music - which is what a good festival should be about. The reaction from the fans in that part of the world rivals our greatest territories and the kids are always very rabid and very appreciative of us being there, so we're super excited to get back.

Everyone wants something real, something that was created to invoke a positive feeling.

For me I'd say... a fact that nobody knows about me is that I hate eggs, they gross me out. It's this weird thing from childhood, I don't know what it is, but I just think eggs are disgusting.

I could eat my body weight in sushi.

Every tour is different. We like to give people a piece of something.

I'd love to go visit the 'Lord Of The Rings' set! That's something that we always want to do, but we don't ever have the time.

I'm not anorexic, bullimic, or any other “ic” you can think of.

This band is metal in that we have a lot of metal in our instruments, and there's quite a lot of metal on my belt buckle as well.

Everyone expects us to be assholes nowadays. I think we've let them down. We're regular dudes and dorky kids. Success doesn't mean you have to change.

We give people a taste of different eras of us, it's kind of like a mix-tape of us.

The teachers thought there was something wrong with me because I wouldn’t talk to other kids. I was almost playing mind games with them.

Without my big brother, I probably literally wouldn't be here.

That isn't the plural of moose. It's moosi.

Don't be afraid to do the most insane thing. Don't think it's too crazy. Just go for it.

Gerard's spirit animal is a gazelle - that's how he's always answered - Frankie would definitely be a wolverine, I would be a shark because of my inability to sit still, and Ray? Ray would be... I'm thinking super intelligent, super articulate, I would think owl.

There's less violence in the world when people are using Hula-Hoops.

As long as we stick together , we can smash the sadness

Unicorns are real and emo is imaginary.

Don't do anything to try to fit in.
