Eh. Hipster's not really a thing anymore. Plus, hipster or out of touch old dude? Same uniform really.

I think writing is a much more personal thing.

'Punk' doesn't mean Mohawks and safety pins. It's about not conforming.

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

There's no first impressions anymore. You go to a job interview, and they'll probably Google you. It's a shame - people should play it a little closer to the chest as far as what information they release to the world. If I'm angry about something, I'm not going to take to my Twitter.

The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.

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!
