Most producers get into it because they were just never handsome or charismatic or talented enough to be the star.

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

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.

My bucket list is pretty much checked off. But oh, we should play in space! Let's do that. We'll play in space, up on a satellite somewhere.

I'm very much a night person. Morning is a thing I only experience because I have to.

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