Quote

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.

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.

In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.

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.

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

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.

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.

Lyrically, I personally lean towards venting.

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.'

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'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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

I very often think about doing things that I would want other artists to do. Like, if I'm a fan of whoever, I want to be treated a certain way. So I realized it came off almost elitist to ignore the whole world of Twitter and Facebook.

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