Patrick Stump
There's something really personal about your voice, where if people talk shit on your guitar, "Ugh, he played out of tune," etc., you can, in your head, blame it on something else, but when you fuck up with your singing, that's part of you [...] So I guess I'm an insecure enough dude that I just went back and really studied and tried to sing better.
Stump quotes
This one's for all the homies who couldn't make it to the party!
Stump
I mean, if I had a piccolo in front of me I would probably figure out how to play ‘Hot Cross Buns’ or something.




Stump Patrick quotes
I think you can totally be a totally normal kid from the suburbs of Chicago and go off and play shows. It's one of those things that when you go home, you're still the nerd you were when you left, and your parents still get to yell at you about cleaning up your room, and your girlfriend still drags you to the pet store.

I started playing music when I was really young. I didn't start off on guitar because I couldn't fit my hands around the neck and fret board. So I did the drums. And back then, all I did was hit things.
Patrick Stump quotes
Hey, does your mother sew? BOOM! Get her to sew that.

Sometimes people associate getting big with selling out, which is funny because that's not something you necessarily have choice in. That's not a matter that is entirely up to you and at the same time, who hasn't sold out? If you've heard of a specific artist, they're big enough--they got to you. Where do you draw the line between what's big and what's too big?
Stump Patrick quotes
Patrick: Did he just roll out "gotta go save the world"?
Peyton: Yeah...
Patrick: That's my line.
Stump
I get really annoyed with photo shoots and interviews and handshakes. I’m a musician; God forbid I actually have time to make music.
Stump Patrick
Pete's my best friend, I was the best man at his wedding, I love that man to death. I'd take a bullet for him.
Patrick Stump
Don't just look at her ass, eat it.




Patrick Stump quotes
I collect movies, I still buy records constantly. I collect musical instruments and most of my time I spend making music, it's pretty much what I do 90% of the time I'm home. Aside from just normal stuff, I walk the dog, I hang out with my girlfriend, get dinner. Pretty mellow stuff.
Patrick Stump
Yeah, I've been writing a bunch of new stuff, but it's all secret. In fact, I may or may not have been writing stuff this entire interview.
Stump quotes
I've heard a lot of really awful, negative things said about Pete, and it's like, “Dude, you don't even have a clue how honest and real that guy is” for the amount of crap that people talk about him. Pete said it, and it's true, they make you into a wrestling character. And it's also like reality TV editing. It's really easy to cut somebody in rolling their eyes when that might not have even happened next to the thing that it's being shown next to.
Stump Patrick
YES, I'm short and VERY pale!
Stump Patrick quotes
Here's the thing about Kelly Clarkson. At the end of the day, she's an amazing singer, and you can't fault her for that.
Patrick Stump
I think Joe's underappreciated, I think Andy's underappreciated, I think Pete's underappreciated, I don't think people know how good he is. I think Neal [Avron]'s underappreciated, but if anything, I feel overappreciated. I think Patrick Stump gets enough attention.
Patrick Stump quotes
What's so funny about i don't get it...
Patrick Stump
He's not cocky because of Fall Out Boy, he's cocky because he's Pete Wentz.
Stump Patrick
First off, we came from hardcore bands, and, in a lot of ways, we still see ourselves as a hardcore band. That said, that's just how we play. I don't know how else to play when you're in a rock band. If you're in a rock band, that's how you're going to do it.
