Patrick Stump cytaty

„On nie jest zarozumiały z powodu Fall Out Boy, on jest zarozumiały, bo jest Pete'em Wentzem.”

„Nienawidzę sosu barbeque. Mało znany fakt o mnie. Nie znoszę tego.”

„Według tego, co pisze Wikipedia, jestem tenorem, co jest fizycznie niemożliwe.”

„Witam, jestem Patrick Stump i mam na sobie spodnie Pete'a.”

„Kiedyś pracowałem w sklepie muzycznym. Jestem dziwakiem w sprawach płyt.”

„Jestem pewien, że muszę ciężko pracować, bo gwiazdy rocka są znane z ich punktualności i uprzejmości, więc…”

„Według mnie ludzie chcą walczyć tylko do walki, a nie dla końcowych skutków i myślę, że to bzdura, myślę, że to głupie.”

„Kto jest odpowiedzialny za to, co o mnie jest napisane w Wikipedii, wszystko w porządku, kimkolwiek jesteś – major, z najważniejszych informacji coś tam jest, ale nie wiesz, widocznie jestem biseksualistą (…).”

„Ten wywiad nie ma sensu. I nie mają sensu sesje zdjęciowe. To nie ma sensu, chyba że tworzę muzykę. Tylko dzięki muzyce jestem tutaj. Wiem, że nie jestem wysokim, ciemnym, przystojnym facetem, gwiazdorem rocka. Wiem, że nie jestem najbardziej charyzmatyczną osobą. Wiem, że nie jestem ciekawy lub śmieszny. Tak naprawdę jestem muzykiem i autorem tekstów. To jest jedyny powód, dla którego tutaj jestem.”

“There are some things in life that make you happy, and make you like your life. Then there are some things in life that you witness, that make you not like your life as much. I think that's one of them. I'm sorry, Juan.”

“If you're trying to get a lot of money and attention and cars and just stuff like that, being in a band is a really bad way to do it, because it takes a lot of work, it's constant work, it's very grueling, and you don't really have time to spend money. So that would probably not even make my top 10 list of ways to make a lot of money, because records aren't selling anymore. The richest musician in America still doesn't even come close to a mid-level athlete.”

“I collect movies, I still buy records constantly. I collect musical instruments and most of my time I spend making music, it's pretty much what I do 90% of the time I'm home. Aside from just normal stuff, I walk the dog, I hang out with my girlfriend, get dinner. Pretty mellow stuff.”

“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.”

“What you want if you're asking that question is a specific time in your life to come back to you, and that will never happen. You will never be 15 years old again. I could write, verbatim, another Take This To Your Grave, and you won't feel the same way. It's not going to mean anything to you because it wouldn't mean anything to me.”

“I don't know, we played a show for like, ten kids, but those ten kids were just insane. It's really quantity, not quality, and that's what I really -- (Pete cuts him off) Pete: It's quality, not quantity. You said it backwards. I don't want you to look like a dumbass… on film.”

“I'm probably the only guy in the world that likes to eat black licorice.”

“Pete's my best friend, I was the best man at his wedding, I love that man to death. I'd take a bullet for him.”

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

“I think a producer should be like water, and whatever the shape of the glass is, he or she should fill that. If they need you to be the engineer guy--typically I have an engineer--I work at that stuff. If they need you to be a songwriting help guy, I work on that. If they need you to be a vocal melody guy, I work at that, etc. I kind of look at whatever a band needs out of me then I try to give it to them.”

“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?”

“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.”

“These are the dude version. They couldn't possibly be your pants!”

“I mean, if I had a piccolo in front of me I would probably figure out how to play ‘Hot Cross Buns’ or something.”

“Whoever is in charge of my Wikipedia, all right, 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 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwCmFH3Xz68 "Patrick's Tour of L. A. from FoE]"”

“I don't mind if someone thinks I'm a sell out. I go to bed happy knowing I do what I do and I'm not doing anything for reasons of money, and if I were trying to pick up chicks, I'm doing a horrible job. And if I wanted to drive awesome cars, I'm doing a really bad job there too.”

“I hate barbeque sauce. Little known fact about me. Can't stand it.”

“I've heard a lot of really awful, negative things said about Pete, and it's like, “Dude, you don't even have a clue how honest and real that guy is” for the amount of crap that people talk about him. Pete said it, and it's true, they make you into a wrestling character. And it's also like reality TV editing. It's really easy to cut somebody in rolling their eyes when that might not have even happened next to the thing that it's being shown next to.”

“I get really annoyed with photo shoots and interviews and handshakes. I’m a musician; God forbid I actually have time to make music.”

“Hi I'm Patrick. Today we're going to look at how long it takes for spilt Coke to sink into a carpet. [plays Jeopardy music] Note that it's still fizzy.”

“There was a weird moment where—I was still a drummer, I always saw myself as a drummer—and we got nominated for a Grammy, that was really crazy, and I was sitting there and Stevie Wonder was on stage and I remember thinking "Wow, I really need to take [singing] more seriously!"”

“I'm sure it's gotta be a great job 'cause rock stars are known for their punctuality and politeness, so…”

“I started playing music when I was really young. I didn't start off on guitar because I couldn't fit my hands around the neck and fret board. So I did the drums. And back then, all I did was hit things.”

“We're standing outside of Peet's Coffee. I've never been here before, but I'm gonna pretend like I have. I love you, Peet's. So good memories.”

“What's so funny about i don't get it…”

“Reich and John Cage were pretty big influences on this record (Folie A Deux) in weird ways in that you wouldn't necessarily hear any of it - nothing ends up sounding like either of them, but I think just methodology and things like that ended up on the record in various ways.”

“Carpool to save gas. 'Cause I know you're in grade school and driving is like, what you do.”

“My badge my witn- oh shh… *hums* Pete:*makes weird noise* oh shhh!”

“Right now I'm in Hollywood—I don't like Hollywood, it's not really my style. But I've found my own little niche here where it's not bad. It's one of those things where I've been on an extended work trip here for 2 years. I still technically live in Chicago and I'm dying to get back. That's one of the big things for me, I go back to Chicago when I want to hang out. I'm weirdly very proud of my city, and I hope, God willing, I die there.”
