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.

'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.

I always think about opportunity and how you regret the things you don't do.

The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.

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.

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.

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
Image
I am genuinely into soul, R&B and hip hop - all these genres that get slapped under the 'soul' genre. That spoke to me more than it did to my punk-rock friends. And punk spoke more to me than it did to my soul friends. I basically didn't fit comfortably in either world.

Drums were my first instrument, my first love. I need rhythm, something that moves.

Be yourself! Love your mom, but if she's trying to get you to be someone you're not, she's in the wrong

I used to work in a record store. I'm kind of a record nerd.

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

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

Speed is absolutely key to creativity. The more time it takes to create something, the less likely you are to create something.
