More quotes by Patrick Stump
All of the agreed-upon pariahs throughout pop-culture history put their identities into the thing we decry. And yet we derive our own identities from the act of hating. We connect on the things we are disappointed in. Some may argue that nothing in history gathers a crowd like complaining about Lady Gaga's meat dress.

Self-deprecating or arrogant, it's all selfish. Hard as it is, life's better when you spend more time on the rest of the world
Patrick Stump
I'd hate wearing suits every day.
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'm very much a night person. Morning is a thing I only experience because I have to.
Patrick Stump
Be yourself! Love your mom, but if she's trying to get you to be someone you're not, she's in the wrong
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.

When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try to treat the world better than it treated you.

When you're a little kid, you just like music that makes you happy and is fun. As you get older, you reach college or your 20s and you decide that music should be challenging and all art should be smart. So you start to think it makes you like high art more to put down things you consider low art. I don't even think things are low art.
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.

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
Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.
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
I love playing our older songs along with newer ones but If all I have is my old stuff, I quit. Creating is more rewarding.

Stray thought for the day: Putting boundaries on how punk should sound/look is the least punk rock thing one can do. Be yourself=Very punk.
Patrick Stump
I always think about opportunity and how you regret the things you don't do.
Patrick Stump
When you make art, you get really invested in it. When art happens by accident and you were just along for the ride? It's way more fun.
Patrick Stump
I don't mind if someone thinks I'm a sell out. I go to bed happy knowing I do what I do and I'm not doing anything for reasons of money, and if I were trying to pick up chicks, I'm doing a horrible job. And if I wanted to drive awesome cars, I'm doing a really bad job there too.
Patrick Stump
Most producers get into it because they were just never handsome or charismatic or talented enough to be the star.

I was talking to my grandpa last Thanksgiving. He pulled me aside and was like, This Thanksgiving is the 150th for the Vaughn family in Chicago. I was like, Cool, whatever, but I think when you have a culture like that, you should have a real appreciation for it. My family's been there forever and I don't want to leave.
