Just another killjoy

TMC: Do you have any advice for aspiring musicians?

GW: I do actually. Don’t be full of s—, number one. Do it for the right reasons. Don’t do it for drugs, sex or money. Be sincere, be honest, play what you want, not what everyone else wants to hear, get in a van, never go home and work your ass off. That’s honestly it.

All I can say is anyone actually listening to the records, put the records next to each other and listen to them and there’s actually no similarities. I think emo’s a pile of s—.

“When you dou something for you love it, like you find that you just good at it, you know, like something is deep inside of you for so long, it says “I have to do this”. You would… you’ll have something valuable to say and something would come out of that if you do it for right reasons”.

“I think that, you know… if you have a passion, if you wanna create music, go out, get a guitar, get a bass, get a piano, a keyboard or something and just play all day, all night long. Keep about it”

“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” -G.W.
