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.

More quotes by 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
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.
Patrick Stump
In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.
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
When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try to treat the world better than it treated you.
Patrick Stump
I always think about opportunity and how you regret the things you don't do.
Patrick Stump
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.
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 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.

I love Korean food, and it's kind of like home to me. The area that I grew up in outside Chicago, Glenview, is heavily Korean. A lot of my friends growing up were Korean and when I would eat dinner at their houses, their parents wouldn't tell me the names of the dishes because I would butcher the language.
Patrick Stump
I'm very much a night person. Morning is a thing I only experience because I have to.
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
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.
Patrick Stump
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 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.
Patrick Stump
Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger. The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger.
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
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.
Patrick Stump
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.
