Drums were my first instrument, my first love. I need rhythm, something that moves.

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

He's writing what I'm singing, and I'm writing what he's playing.

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 believe any genre of music can be unilaterally dismissed (aside from like, white-power music or something).

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.

Speed is absolutely key to creativity. The more time it takes to create something, the less likely you are to create something.

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

Stray thought for the day: Putting boundaries on how punk should sound/look is the least punk rock thing one can do. Be yourself=Very punk.

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

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.

'As Long As I Know I'm Getting Paid' is a satire. Lyrically, I want to be direct. With my history in Fall Out Boy, there's some expectation that I'm going to be lyrically obtuse. But that song is a straight-faced satire of consumerism.

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.

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

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.'

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 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.

The music that I made in my band wasn't the expression of everything I was into. Bands are based on compromise.

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

In reply to 'how do I flirt with people?': Just be yourself and not want anything out of anybody. Desire is the killer of all smoothness.
