The music that I made in my band wasn't the expression of everything I was into. Bands are based on compromise.

Whatever notoriety Fall Out Boy used to have prevents me from having the ability to start over from the bottom again.

I definitely love kimchi. The biggest influence that eating so much Korean food growing up had on me was that I have no limit for spiciness. The hotter the better.

In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.

There's a certain fear of simplicity. I think that's the thing when you're younger as an artist you get this idea in your head that complexity equals quality. The more notes you're playing, the better.

Yoko Ono never deserved any of the hate she got. Paul McCartney and John Lennon weren't getting along.

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