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.

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

I was going to record a solo album when I was 15 on a four-track. I started working on it, but then Fall Out Boy happened. The band was awesome and took me in a totally different direction. I don't regret it at all, but the band delayed the record I had been planning.

I think writing is a much more personal thing.

I'd hate wearing suits every day.

Steven Tyler isn't in Aerosmith anymore, but his gravestone will probably say something about Aerosmith.

I wasn't necessarily frustrated in Fall Out Boy, but there were things that didn't get satisfied, desires left wanting. We didn't all meet on the same kind of music. When bands break up, there are all these buzz words that get tossed around to maintain a front for the audience, but in this case there literally were creative differences.
