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 love playing our older songs along with newer ones but If all I have is my old stuff, I quit. Creating is more rewarding.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.

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

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.

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

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