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

For some people, home is family and their mom's house or their girl or whatever, and I have those experiences as well, but the biggest thing for me is Chicago. I don't know how to explain it.

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

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.

No one's busy thinking bad things about you. They're all too busy thinking bad things about themselves.

Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger. The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger.

There are two types of bands - there are the ones that are basically solo projects anyways, where there's clearly the one guy who's driving the ship and everyone else is just along for the ride. And then there was my band, where you have a few very disparate-taste, creative people who kind of meet in the middle somewhere.
