“I'm not a drummer anymore, on my gravestone, if there is one, if anyone writes anything about me besides hopefully being a dad, it would be that I sang in my band when I was in my 20s. So I was like, ""Yeah, I should probably focus on this a little more,"" so I just practiced a lot.”

“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?”

“So one day some friends got me to sneak out of class, and mostly we just went home and listened to this cassette tape that one of them had. It was Dookie. So the thing that struck me right off the bat was how musical it was. It was all the things that you'd expect from punk rock: it was angry, it was loud, it was fast, but there were these subtle hints of an awareness of music theory and music history that was wise beyond its years. Now, other kids had Guns N' Roses and Nirvana and all those things later. 1994, none of that was good. This, this one I was like, ""This is mine.”

“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 's underappreciated, but if anything, I feel overappreciated. I think Patrick Stump gets enough attention.”
