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

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

Be yourself! Love your mom, but if she's trying to get you to be someone you're not, she's in the wrong

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

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.

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

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.

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.
Patrick Stump

Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.
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.

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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

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.
