I write the lyrics. Patrick writes the music. We are in love and live in a castle in the sky. Our next door neighbors are carebears. Grumpy bear has a Baditude, but I still heart him. I hope your life is as magical as ours is.

I think people who just know me from my band think I don't like pop music. The truth is I love pop music.

I feel like we've figured out how to write Fall Out Boy music, but I don't really feel like we've written the definitive Fall Out Boy song yet, where I'm like, 'Wow, that is Fall Out Boy.' So I guess it is continually evolving. But at the same time, it's not growth just for the sake of growth. As you get older and you see the world, your tastes change and hopefully your mind kind of opens.

It's like a bunch of hard-core kids who decided they were going to write pop music.

A lot of bands in music history have had titles that were easy for radio DJs. We wanted to have titles that were true to the songs. That sets us apart.

When you're playing hard-core music and you're screaming every night, it just grates on your ears, and at some point, the grass is always greener. You want to be doing something different.
