There's lots of bands where somebody will write lyrics and somebody else will sing them. It works for a lot of people, but that feels weird to me.

Frank Iero

I don't understand how people can make such a fuss about people that are happy and in love, when there's people dying of hunger and war and they don't even notice that. I really don't understand that. That makes me so angry!
