Make yourself do something stupid so when you really do something stupid you won't feel so bad

He [Patrick Stump] is been a friend of ours for a long time, and when we were talking about working with different producers and songwriters for the record, Patrick's name came up. We were excited to work with him - he's a very gifted lyricist and songwriter, and a really cool guy and it was a pleasure to work with him in the studio.

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.

And anyone that calls me a sell-out is just jealous.

True happiness for me is playing a concert in Blink-182, and then hanging out with my friends and my wife and son, and going out for Mexican food.

Ideas are really what interest me in producing a band, if I can bring something productive to the project.

My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong.
