“I think normally people think that they're afraid to die but I actually think people are more afraid to live. People are more afraid to make the choices that they want because they're very hard decisions to make in order to be happy. I think a lot of people are really afraid of that. It's easy to be in a band because you have a lot of things to hide behind so that's really not always living...that doesn't always constitute as living life the way you want. But at times you have to make decisions that sometimes hurt others in order to live.” PeopleThinkingWayWantSometimesHardOrderDiesChoicesEasyHurtDecisionBehindsBandLive LifeHard Decision Author:Gerard Way

“"If you are loyal you are successful," ruminated the company paper at one time. "All useful work is raised to the plane of art when love for the task-loyalty-is fused with the effort. Loyalty is the great lubricant of life. It saves the wear and tear of making daily decisions as to what is best to do. The man who is loyal to his work is not wrung nor perplexed by doubts, he sticks to the ship, and if the ship founders he goes down like a hero with colors flying at the masthead and the band playing."” IfsMenArtDecisionEffortCompanySuccessfulDoubtTearsColorHe ManHeroBandPaperTasksSticksRaisedLoyaltyFlyingShipsPlanesOne TimeLoyalFoundersPerplexed Author:Thomas Watson

“We haven't really changed, we've just gotten better at executing what we've always been trying to do.

“[Music From the Edge of Heaven] wasn't really an album at all. The band had made the decision to release an LP and then split up.

But we couldn't do that over here because we couldn't release a single without an album.” WorldMadeWantedSongHeavenDecisionFourBandEdgesAlbumsReleaseJust OneBritainSplitsBangs Author:George Michael
