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 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.

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 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.

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

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.'

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 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.

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

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.

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 have always loved David Bowie. When he began to experiment with pop music in the 80's, I really thought there was a really fascinating reverence for it. A lot of people looked at pop music as just idiot music, or dance music, and with this he was giving it a lot of respect.

I would love to hang out with Elvis Costello, to see what he's up to because he seems so fascinating to me.

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.

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

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.

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

The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.
