More quotes by Patrick Stump
In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.
Patrick Stump
I think any good artist - and I'm not saying that I am one - takes notes and should first emulate their heroes and then try to move beyond them.
Patrick Stump
Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.
Patrick Stump
There's a certain fear of simplicity. I think that's the thing when you're younger as an artist you get this idea in your head that complexity equals quality. The more notes you're playing, the better.
Patrick Stump
I was going to record a solo album when I was 15 on a four-track. I started working on it, but then Fall Out Boy happened. The band was awesome and took me in a totally different direction. I don't regret it at all, but the band delayed the record I had been planning.
Patrick Stump
I'm very much a night person. Morning is a thing I only experience because I have to.
Patrick Stump
Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger. The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger.
Patrick Stump
I always thought 'Stump' was kind of like, you dropped something on your foot. It's not the most exotic rock-star name.
Patrick Stump
I've learned a lot about things because of the Internet. I'm happy with it, but it's a long road for me. I'm still definitely a little anti.
Patrick Stump
There are two types of bands - there are the ones that are basically solo projects anyways, where there's clearly the one guy who's driving the ship and everyone else is just along for the ride. And then there was my band, where you have a few very disparate-taste, creative people who kind of meet in the middle somewhere.
Patrick Stump
'As Long As I Know I'm Getting Paid' is a satire. Lyrically, I want to be direct. With my history in Fall Out Boy, there's some expectation that I'm going to be lyrically obtuse. But that song is a straight-faced satire of consumerism.
Patrick Stump
For some people, home is family and their mom's house or their girl or whatever, and I have those experiences as well, but the biggest thing for me is Chicago. I don't know how to explain it.
Patrick Stump
The song that's affected me the most profoundly is probably Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' or, more specifically, the couple seconds of instrumental break before Vincent Price starts 'rapping.'
Patrick Stump
Drums were my first instrument, my first love. I need rhythm, something that moves.
Patrick Stump
I always think about opportunity and how you regret the things you don't do.
Patrick Stump
When you're No. 1 or No. 300, you still get to play and write the songs.
Patrick Stump
I love New Zealand. Every time I'm in New Zealand someone makes a joke about it being mostly sheep, which I think is unfair, because it's mostly nice people. It's mostly nice people and really wonderful scenery.
Patrick Stump
I don't see the songs as uplifting, but rather as trying to make lemonade from lemons, or whatever. When I listen to them, I understand the context. I don't like to pepper songs with my own experiences, though.
Patrick Stump
You have total freedom. It's like, if you do a solo record, there are no restrictions and you can do whatever you want, good or bad. You can have these passing fancies where you go in to the studio one day and you want to do something like what you did on the way in. That's dangerous. You have to have some sort of focus.
Patrick Stump
I think you can totally be a totally normal kid from the suburbs of Chicago and go off and play shows. It's one of those things that when you go home, you're still the nerd you were when you left, and your parents still get to yell at you about cleaning up your room, and your girlfriend still drags you to the pet store.
