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

More quotes by 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.

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
The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.
Patrick Stump
When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try to treat the world better than it treated you.
Patrick Stump
I used to work in a record store. I'm kind of a record nerd.
Patrick Stump
He's writing what I'm singing, and I'm writing what he's playing.
Patrick Stump
Speed is absolutely key to creativity. The more time it takes to create something, the less likely you are to create something.
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 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
The music that I made in my band wasn't the expression of everything I was into. Bands are based on compromise.
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
'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
I'd hate wearing suits every day.
Patrick Stump
Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.
Patrick Stump
I have always loved David Bowie. When he began to experiment with pop music in the 80's, I really thought there was a really fascinating reverence for it. A lot of people looked at pop music as just idiot music, or dance music, and with this he was giving it a lot of respect.
Patrick Stump
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

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
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.

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.
Patrick Stump
I very often think about doing things that I would want other artists to do. Like, if I'm a fan of whoever, I want to be treated a certain way. So I realized it came off almost elitist to ignore the whole world of Twitter and Facebook.
