More quotes by Patrick Stump
Be yourself! Love your mom, but if she's trying to get you to be someone you're not, she's in the wrong
Patrick Stump
I always thought 'Stump' was kind of like, you dropped something on your foot. It's not the most exotic rock-star name.
Patrick Stump
Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger. The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger.
Patrick Stump
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.
Patrick Stump
I was talking to my grandpa last Thanksgiving. He pulled me aside and was like, This Thanksgiving is the 150th for the Vaughn family in Chicago. I was like, Cool, whatever, but I think when you have a culture like that, you should have a real appreciation for it. My family's been there forever and I don't want to leave.
Patrick Stump
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.
Patrick Stump
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.
Patrick Stump
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.
Patrick Stump
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.
Patrick Stump
I'm very much a night person. Morning is a thing I only experience because I have to.
Patrick Stump
Good music is good music, regardless of where it comes from. I think that's a really important thing to carry with you.
Patrick Stump
I'd hate wearing suits every day.
Patrick Stump
Drums were my first instrument, my first love. I need rhythm, something that moves.
Patrick Stump
I look at albums like novels. If you write a really good scene or a really good moment, just because you wrote it, doesn't mean that it fits with the story that you're writing.
Patrick Stump
Speed is absolutely key to creativity. The more time it takes to create something, the less likely you are to create something.
Patrick Stump
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.
Patrick Stump
I always think about opportunity and how you regret the things you don't do.
Patrick Stump
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
In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.
Patrick Stump
Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.
