We've been very see-through about our intentions, and people appreciate that. The thing about this scene and the generation of bands before us that everybody touted -- nobody can live up to the pressure of being called the next Nirvana. Nobody can live up to that.

It's just not cool when people are on stage and yelling 'faggot' and stuff like that and making people feel uncomfortable.

This is the thing about pressure. It's like people say, 'We finally understand Fall Out Boy and we finally got it figured out and let's squeeze more of this out of them.' And meanwhile, when you figured out what we were doing four years ago, we're gonna do this other thing and you're gonna be like, 'I don't know if it's gonna work.' And it might not work, whatever, but we're not gonna sit there and try to squeeze like every single drop of blood out of us.

I want people to know that who you are in highschool, isn't gonna be who you are for the of your life. We were all geeks in high shool, and now look at us, now we're on TR *#@#$* L ! YEAH!

Sometimes, I'll be walking down the street, and people will be like, 'You're the guy from the antlers video!' And you can't go certain places. We have two buses now. Jay-Z has called me on the phone, ... But a lot of things probably will never change - like our friendships and our working relationships. As far as me and Patrick [Stump, the singer] and all of Fall Out Boy, it's in a vacuum.
