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

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

In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.

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

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.

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

I look at albums like novels. If you write a really good scene or a really good moment, just because you wrote it, doesn't mean that it fits with the story that you're writing.
Patrick Stump

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Good music is good music, regardless of where it comes from. I think that's a really important thing to carry with you.
