There’s the idea that you can’t truly know happiness until you know sadness, so how can you heal yourself unless you’ve hurt yourself? I’m still figuring out who I am, but I know that I’m not who I was.

Brendon Urie

When I wrote a song, it would have to be from something I was really excited about, or a melody that’s been haunting me for weeks, or a message I wanted to convey lyrically. So it would have to start from something I felt very strongly about.

I think some songs are better on vinyl. I would rather listen to it in a club! 80% of this album; put it on in a club and just rage! Play it super loud!

It’s ignorant! The stereotype is guys that are weak and have failing relationships write about how sad they are. If you listen to our songs, not one of them has that tone.

We’re weird guys. I don’t know if a lot of people get our humor. A lot of people probably think we’re jerks. We’re real sarcastic. Really ironic and stuff. We mean well, but we joke around probably a lot more than we should.

I grew up in a very religious family, so that was never going to leave me. I just accepted it over the years. Although I’m not religious myself, it is so much a part of me.

It’s just, for me, you know, the spirituality of being able to own up to your sins, as they’re called, and take responsibility for your actions really hit me this time around.

You’re going to listen to a song differently if you’re just sitting around somewhere listening on your phone as opposed to sitting in a dark room listening to a vinyl album. It’s going to be a totally different experience.
