Snippets from FOB in Blender’s 5th Anniversary Issue
On what pisses Patrick Stump off: “I get really annoyed with photo shoots and interviews and handshakes. I’m a musician; God forbid I actually have time to make music.” – Patrick Stump
Pete Wentz on tabloid-induced anxiety: “One person’s comment in their stupid, shitty LiveJournal will keep me up all night. People don’t realize it, but I will read it and I will be affected by it.” – Pete Wentz
Pete Wentz on his audience: “It’s fuckin’ embarrassing, but it’s my fault. I definitely polarize people. People either love Fall Out Boy to death- they would die for us- or they absolutely hate us.” – Pete Wentz
On Pete Wentz: “He’s not cocky ’cause of the band. He’s cocky ’cause he’s Pete Wentz.” – Patrick Stump
On his psychosis: “And it’s been good seeing a psychiatrist. But part of the psychosis is that I want to stay this way because it’s the only way people know me. Sometimes it feels wrong to feel OK. Any band that creates a cult-like following requires the kids to empathize with somebody talking about their flaws.” – Pete Wentz
On saving the lives of teens everywhere: “When people come up to me and say “Fall Out Boy saved my life” my only response is that Fall Out Boy saved my life, too.” – Pete Wentz
