I wasn't necessarily frustrated in Fall Out Boy, but there were things that didn't get satisfied, desires left wanting. We didn't all meet on the same kind of music.

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 digfindgrocery Change image and share on social
When you make art, you get really invested in it. When art happens by accident and you were just along for the ride? It's way more fun. Patrick Stump accidentartfun Change image and share on social
