Gym Class is a band I am more directly involved with than any other band except for Fall Out Boy.

When I eat something like vegetable bibimbap, I get that warm and fuzzy feeling of eating stuff that I grew up with.

He's writing what I'm singing, and I'm writing what he's playing.

I love Korean food, and it's kind of like home to me. The area that I grew up in outside Chicago, Glenview, is heavily Korean. A lot of my friends growing up were Korean and when I would eat dinner at their houses, their parents wouldn't tell me the names of the dishes because I would butcher the language.

I don't believe any genre of music can be unilaterally dismissed (aside from like, white-power music or something).

I used to work in a record store. I'm kind of a record nerd.

You have total freedom. It's like, if you do a solo record, there are no restrictions and you can do whatever you want, good or bad. You can have these passing fancies where you go in to the studio one day and you want to do something like what you did on the way in. That's dangerous. You have to have some sort of focus.
