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.

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

I lost about 60 pounds. I don't really have a moment specifically that made me do it. I remember little things, like, when I was in Japan, I remember looking around at the portion sizes of a fast food restaurant and being like, 'Well, this has something to do with it.' Americans definitely eat too much.

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.

The music that I made in my band wasn't the expression of everything I was into. Bands are based on compromise.

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.

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.

I'm really attracted to music that sort of toes that line between pop and avant-garde, that pushes the envelope of what you can get in a pop song.

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

I don't believe any genre of music can be unilaterally dismissed (aside from like, white-power music or something).

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.

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.

Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.

I'm very much a night person. Morning is a thing I only experience because I have to.

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.

He's writing what I'm singing, and I'm writing what he's playing.

Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger. The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger.

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.

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

Most producers get into it because they were just never handsome or charismatic or talented enough to be the star.
