Gerard Way’s 5 most popular quotes

  • There’s something very romantic about self-destruction, sabotaging your life, and taking a hammer to it.
  • It is often my nature to be abstract, hidden in plain sight, or nowhere at all.
  • So many people treat you like you’re a kid, so you might as well act like one and throw your television out of the hotel window.
  • I understand that kids look up to me, that some people might have gotten sober because of me.
  • Did Superman really want to save the world, or did he just feel like he had to? Would he much rather be a farmer? Maybe. Would he much rather be hanging out with his dad, his mom, and his dog? Probably.
