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.

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

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

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.

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

All of the agreed-upon pariahs throughout pop-culture history put their identities into the thing we decry. And yet we derive our own identities from the act of hating. We connect on the things we are disappointed in. Some may argue that nothing in history gathers a crowd like complaining about Lady Gaga's meat dress.

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.

I'd hate wearing suits every day.

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.

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

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

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

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

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