Quote

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.'

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

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.

The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.

I don't mind if someone thinks I'm a sell out. I go to bed happy knowing I do what I do and I'm not doing anything for reasons of money, and if I were trying to pick up chicks, I'm doing a horrible job. And if I wanted to drive awesome cars, I'm doing a really bad job there too.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.

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 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 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.

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