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

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

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

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.

Most producers get into it because they were just never handsome or charismatic or talented enough to be the star.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

When you're No. 1 or No. 300, you still get to play and write the songs.
Patrick Stump

I always think about opportunity and how you regret the things you don't do.
Patrick Stump
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't believe any genre of music can be unilaterally dismissed (aside from like, white-power music or something).
