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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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'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.

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

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 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.
