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

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.

In Fall Out Boy, I noticed that I wasn't putting all that much soul into it. It was just kind of screaming, I guess. I was just dying to get out of there!

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.

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

I write really scathing, angry stuff when I'm in a better mood, and then uplifting and happy stuff when I'm at the absolute bottom.

Good! Hang in there! It's normal! [Low self-esteem] Often it's a sign of intelligence (but don't let that go to your head haha)
