I always thought 'Stump' was kind of like, you dropped something on your foot. It's not the most exotic rock-star name.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Be yourself! Love your mom, but if she's trying to get you to be someone you're not, she's in the wrong

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

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.

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

I'd hate wearing suits every day.

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.

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 always think about opportunity and how you regret the things you don't do.

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

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.

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

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.

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'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.
