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.

I love playing Michigan, I`m really excited that we begin the tour in Detroit. It`s one of those places where we know the kids like the back of our hands and they know us -- it`s like home.

Quiet IS the new loud.

I have a girlfriend and she hasn`t minded, ... She thinks it`s funny I have to sing about that stuff.

He`s writing what I`m singing, and I`m writing what he`s playing.

I`m really glad I put aside whatever ego I had and just let (Wentz) be free,

Our fans are pretty loyal. In the beginning, we had to play a lot of shows to, like, one kid at a time. Those kids stuck with us and have been incredibly supportive. They have a lot more ownership of us than other bands, they can have Fall Out Boy. That`s how we feel.

The music business is one of a few places where everything you`ve heard about it seems entirely cliché, but it`s true.

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.

I used to work in a record store. I`m kind of a record nerd.

Quiet IS the new loud.

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 don`t think we care anymore about what we`re gonna do. We`re just gonna be our own band and we`re not gonna pretend to be any more rock or any less whatever than we are. We`re kinda hardcore kids, we`re kinda a metal band in this weird way, we`re kinda into soul, we`re kinda into folk, we`re kinda into a lot of stuff and we`re just gonna do whatever we do.

Whoever`s in charge of my Wikipedia, alright, whoever you are - the major, most egregious thing in there isn`t that, you know, apparently I`m bisexual and have like, twenty kids and, um, that I learned everything I know from a sixteen-year-old who probably wrote that in himself, but the most egregious of all the errors is that it says I am a massive David Bowie fan. Which is true, but it is a gross omission to leave out my obsession with Prince. Absolutely. So whoever you are, throw that in there. Go for it. You know what? Make me eighty feet tall. And you know, make me a transsexual. But put in Prince.
