'As Long As I Know I'm Getting Paid' is a satire. Lyrically, I want to be direct. With my history in Fall Out Boy, there's some expectation that I'm going to be lyrically obtuse. But that song is a straight-faced satire of consumerism.

I would love to hang out with Elvis Costello, to see what he's up to because he seems so fascinating to me.

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

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

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

Good! Hang in there! It's normal! [Low self-esteem] Often it's a sign of intelligence (but don't let that go to your head haha)

I lost about 60 pounds. I don't really have a moment specifically that made me do it. I remember little things, like, when I was in Japan, I remember looking around at the portion sizes of a fast food restaurant and being like, 'Well, this has something to do with it.' Americans definitely eat too much.
