Gerard Way Quotes

I start my process hand written, and then I dump it in. It's like you're getting a second draft 'cause when I put it in the computer, I fix it and change stuff. That's my process.

They were like, "Oh, we hand write, and then we dump it all in." I was like, "Great! There's no more blank pages."
