I found this quote in a magazine. It was said by Pete Wentz. I really liked it so I decided I'd post it. If there's any other quotes from a band/songwriter/singer that you want to put up, go right ahead.
Here's to the kids... The kids who would rather spend their night with Patrick or Sonny playing on their headphones than go to some vomit-stained high school party.
Here's to the kids whose 11:11 wish was wasted on one person who will never be there for them.
Here's to the kids whose idea of a good night is sitting on the hood of a car, watching the stars.
Here's to the kids who never were too good at life, but still were wicked cool.
Here's to the kids who listened to Fall Out Boy and Hawthorne Heights before they were on MTV.
Heres to the kids that blame MTV for ruining their life.
Here's to the kids who care more about the music then the haircuts.
Here's to the kids who have crushes on a stupid lush.
Here's to the kids who hum "A Little Less 16 Candles A Little More Touch Me" when they're stuck home, dateless, on a Saturday night.
Here's to the kids who have ever had a broken heart...from someone who didn't even know they existed.
Here's to the kids who have read The Perks of Being A Wall Flower & didn't feel so alone after doing so.
Here's to the kids who spend their days in photobooths with their best friend.
Here's to the kids who are straight up smartasses & just don't care.
Here's to the kids who speak their mind.
Here's to the kids who consider screamo their lullaby for going to sleep.
Here's to the kids who second-guess themselves on everything they do.
Here's to the kids who will never have 100 percent confidence in anything they do, and to the kids who are okay with that.

And some of my favorites from the now engaged Gerard Way:
"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."
"If people are continuously going to treat you like a child, then you might as well act like one and throw your television out of your hotel room window."
“Be yourself, don't take anyone's shit, and never let them take you alive.”
“The Jersey mentality is: I work, I drink, I stay up all night, I try to meet a girl, it's a waste of time.”
“There was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. . . . But even in my most jaded times, I had some hope.”
“It tastes like somebody stole my wallet. Ya know?”
“It's like the drag fairy coming and saying 'What would you like to do?' Um, yeah karate.”
“Are You On Our Side And You Want To Be Diffrent Or Are You On That Side And You Want To Throw A Football At My Head?”
“We like to kidnap them in a van, and leave them somewhere dangerous. SURPRISE!”
“Well, I'm half Italian, so last year on warped tour i got this really good tan and I was like, bummer.”
“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.” [XD]
“I'm not psycho...I just like psychotic things.”
“Your going to come across a lot of shitty bands, and a lot of shitty people. And if anyone of those people call you names because of what you look like, or because they don't accept you for who you are. I want you to look right at that motherfucker, stick up your middle finger, and scream FUCK YOU!”
“That's what happens when you're all borderline psychotic and therein lies the beauty of this band - our duality. There's a duality to each band member too. There's a desire to have this constant conflict. If we write a write a song and it turns out really poppy, we have to make the lyrics really fucked up. There's psychosis to everything we do for sure. One day we're probably gonna write this number one pop tune that will be about a massacre!”
“If you don't go to highschool you will definitely go to jail.”
“The Devil got landed with a shitty job, he has to deal with assholes everyday, he's probably bored as hell.”
"I'd rather be a creature of the night than an old dude"
“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.”
"I am the master of the wicket!"
“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...”
“I went to school in drag, in art school and my day was completely different because everybody thought I was a chick. You should see me as a chick. So I went as a girl, as like an experiment and it worked really well and everyone was really nice to me but I couldn't talk obviously...you know train conductors were really cool to me on my commute...HA! I looked hot as a chick!”
“Oh yeah. People think we're fucking loaded just because we got all this bling on. Yeah, they think we're all rich vampires!”
“Actually, I might party a bit. I haven't partied in a long time, ... But we party a little differently than, like, Trick Daddy . We like high-speed Internet and strong coffee.”
Ray- What is a large group of moose? Mooses? Mikey- No way! It's Meesi. Gerard- F*ck Off! It's Meese.”
“So how was Christmas for you guys? Did you all get lots of nice black tee shirts?”

And Then The Ever So Lovely, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy:
"Life is very short, and you can't go around painting your face with zombie colors and being pissed off the whole time"
"Every day you gotta wake up and be yourself, even if you suck, especially if you suck, because, no one else sucks like you suck"

More Pete Wentz:
“Nature shows suck ass, though cobras are pretty sweet. Pretty much any animal that has a gang named after it is pretty bad ass. I would go for an animal combo, like a bear that carried a cobra -- total unstoppable force. Give that thing wings and humanity is fucked.”
“Underwear. It's like a goddamned leash. It also constantly reminds me of how funny I look naked.”
“If you know me you know how uncool I am. I stutter, wear bad clothes, make bad jokes, make conversation uncomfortable, the list goes on. Thank you for making me feel okay.”
“You can live with me in this house I've built out of writers blocks.”
“My parents treat me like I'm 14. They make me clean my room and stuff like that. They're always like "I don't care what MTV says you are."”
“It was a white A-Team van, and because it had no windows, it was hot as crap. It had a big flower spray-painted on the side. The brakes went out on it when we were driving down this alley, and I go to our guitar tech — there was a fence and there was this other van — so I go, 'Fence or van? 'Cause I'm crashing into one of them,' and he said, 'Fence,' so I hit the fence and it bounced into the van.”
“Definitely. If I wasn't ordinary, this wouldn't feel really strange to me. It would feel very deserved and feel like vindication whereas being ordinary, thinking that I'm probably a pretty normal, ordinary person, I feel like we got put in a fish tank, kind of by accident.”
“Of course, we haven't spoke to anybody at Island Records about this yet -- but you should go ahead and print this, because it'll just make them sweat.”
“OK, I can say some more about the video. I got a new analogy for you about it. It's like R. Kelly's 'Trapped in the Closet,' meets Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' ... But with the prologue and epilogue still taking place on the Internet. And I'm being completely serious. Wrap your mind around that.”
“One time I fell in love with a cat, and then I realized it wasn't a human being. It was not as sexy as we thought.”
