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

More quotes by Patrick Stump
Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.
Patrick Stump
I would love to hang out with Elvis Costello, to see what he's up to because he seems so fascinating to me.
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 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
I always thought 'Stump' was kind of like, you dropped something on your foot. It's not the most exotic rock-star name.
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.
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
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.
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.

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
In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.
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 love playing our older songs along with newer ones but If all I have is my old stuff, I quit. Creating is more rewarding.
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 don't believe any genre of music can be unilaterally dismissed (aside from like, white-power music or something).
Patrick Stump
You could be your own spotlight!
Patrick Stump
I've learned a lot about things because of the Internet. I'm happy with it, but it's a long road for me. I'm still definitely a little anti.
Patrick Stump
The song that's affected me the most profoundly is probably Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' or, more specifically, the couple seconds of instrumental break before Vincent Price starts 'rapping.'
Patrick Stump
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.
Patrick Stump
I'm very much a night person. Morning is a thing I only experience because I have to.
