81 " Yeah, obviously we use vampires as a metaphor for something else, something deeper than just the supernatural. But there's just something about the bloodsucking walking dead, that can say so much to people. There are really so many people trying to get control over you on a daily basis and steal your soul in some way, take a part of you.. "

82 " It reminded me of a meat grinder. From when I was a kid. Going to school it felt like you were in a meat grinder. It chews you up and pours out this mess that can't function "
83 " You're going to come across a lot of shitty band, and a lot of shitty people. And if anyone of those people call you names beacause of what you look like or they don't accept you for who you are, I want you to look right at that motherf*****, stick up your middle finger, and scream F*** YOU! "
84 " It erases everything I hate about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel completely invincible. I feel like everyone else on that stage is invincible and we're capable of anything. There's no stopping us. "
85 " It's for the hamster that I'm gonna buy! This is so perfect!(after opening a hamster wheel at Christmas) "
86 " All your quirks and all your problems - even your depressions and your failures - that’s what makes you you. "
87 " I learned that the world doesn't want to be saved, and it will fucking punch you in the face if you try. "
88 " I Just Got So Emo That I Just Fell Apart!! "
89 " Craziest thing that ever happened to me was being attacked by a black bird. It pecked the shit out of my head. We were at this hotel called The Phoenix in San Francisco. We were leaving to go to a show the next morning and the bird just fuckin' attacked my head. And the next day Slipknot were there, they were coming in as we were leaving, and they got attacked by birds too "
90 " It's important to keep up momentum, when I'm home alone I get stagnant, I go crazy and have to see my therapist. Being on the road keeps me busy. I'm okay when I'm busy. "
91 " Who wouldn't want to catch a guy in a bear suit? "
92 " Were not a festival band, playing during the day was something we had to get over, I was like uhh this sun stuff kind of sucks "
93 " GIVE ME YOUR REASON TO BELIeVE "
94 " I just rolled up the window, I couldn't think of anything else to do, phew I'm safe from the .375 gun now that I've rolled up the fucking window "
95 " 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. "
96 " I'm not okay. "
97 " It's like the drag fairy coming and saying 'What would you like to do?' Um, yeah karate. "
98 " I see you lying next to me, with words I thought i'd never speak, awake and unafraid, asleep or dead? "
99 " When we first started out I had a really big issue and a lot of my loved ones had a really big issue with the fact that I was totally in pain up there and there was a time when I tried to hurt myself off stage, but I got over that. Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person and I think that that is going to be a lot of what the next record is about, not to plug it or anything. Like, it's going to talk about dying and coming back to become what you totally want to become. We are all becoming what we want to become. "
100 " It takes a while to tell stories, I think it's because I was drunk for three years. "
