Patrick: Before Fall Out Boy I wanted to do a solo record and write songs. But again, I didn't really want to be the singer. I've been asked that and my feeling is that there's only two reasons to do a solo project - either you are totally full of yourself and you want to be the star, or you have a bunch of music that you want to get out that your band either won't let you release or can't pull off. I don't feel like I'm in either situation. I feel like I get to express myself in a better way. I mean, at the end of the day, yeah, Paul McCartney's awesome, but wasn't he better with the Beatles? Not to say I'm anything close to that. I think really fruitful partnerships—and I consider Pete and I to have a fruitful partnership, I'm happy working with him—I always think fruitful partnerships are going to be better than the partners without each other.
If it ever came up and it ever made sense, I might consider it, but at the moment I'm way too stoked on our Fall Out Boy record to even care about that [laughs].
