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

'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 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.

Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.

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

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

Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.

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.

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

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.
Patrick Stump

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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