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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I'd hate wearing suits every day.

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.

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.'

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

I love playing our older songs along with newer ones but If all I have is my old stuff, I quit. Creating is more rewarding.

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.

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

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

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

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.
