I moved to L.A. and really didn’t dig living there until I found places like Koreatown and Little Tokyo. I really like hanging out in the grocery stores and restaurants. Patrick Stump Read Quote
When I eat something like vegetable bibimbap, I get that warm and fuzzy feeling of eating stuff that I grew up with. Patrick Stump Read Quote
I love Korean food, and it’s kind of like home to me. The area that I grew up in outside Chicago, Glenview, is heavily Korean. A lot of my friends growing up were Korean and when I would eat dinner at their houses, their parents wouldn’t tell me the names of the dishes because I would butcher the language.

Why do we make records? Because we want to say something. Why are you in art? Because you want to say something. The second you don’t have anything to say, you stop making art – you might start making product. And I’m interested in being an artist. Patrick Stump Read Quote
I always thought ‘Stump’ was kind of like, you dropped something on your foot. It’s not the most exotic rock-star name. Patrick Stump Read Quote
I didn’t want to give up my Illinois driver’s license and was unaware that was a crime. It is, by the way, in the state of California. Lesson learned. I technically broke a law, so technically I deserve whatever I get. Patrick Stump Read Quote
Steven Tyler isn’t in Aerosmith anymore, but his gravestone will probably say something about Aerosmith. Patrick Stump Read Quote
Good music is good music, regardless of where it comes from. I think that’s a really important thing to carry with you. Patrick Stump Read Quote
We’re so busy broadcasting our latest cultural disdain that we scantly notice anything we enjoy. ‘Oh man, this Rebecca Black kid is terrible! Let’s laugh at her!’ has become more culturally relevant than, ‘I really love this new Bilal record.’ Patrick Stump Read Quote
When you’re a little kid, you just like music that makes you happy and is fun. As you get older, you reach college or your 20s and you decide that music should be challenging and all art should be smart. So you start to think it makes you like high art more to put down things you consider low art. I don’t even think things are low art. Patrick Stump Read Quote
