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

Whatever notoriety Fall Out Boy used to have prevents me from having the ability to start over from the bottom again.

Why do we make records? Because we want to say something. Why are you in art? Because you want to say something. The second you don't have anything to say, you stop making art - you might start making product. And I'm interested in being an artist.

No one's busy thinking bad things about you. They're all too busy thinking bad things about themselves.

I definitely love kimchi. The biggest influence that eating so much Korean food growing up had on me was that I have no limit for spiciness. The hotter the better.

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.

Speed is absolutely key to creativity. The more time it takes to create something, the less likely you are to create something.
