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.

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

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

I really like pop music, I don't think it's a four-letter word.

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 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.

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