A biography for Brendon Uriehasn’t been written yet.
“I had only heard about Fall Out Boy a couple months before we contacted him. I heard 'Saturday' and 'Grand Theft Autumn' and thought the lyrics were smart and the singer was insanely talented.”
“I want to write something that celebrates life, that's fun to listen to.”
“I've just gotten better at partying. I haven't stopped or slowed down by any means. If anything, it's increased. But if anything, it's just more fun now.”
“When we first moved to California from Las Vegas, we got into surfing. We figured we should do something to get in shape, but we hate working out. Surfing is definitely a work out.”
“I love to surf. Hawaii has some of the best waves in the world, and the most consistent as well. That's always fun.”
“Before I had a steady job, I was broke, and I didn't have any money to buy anything, so I would illegally download stuff.”
“To see fans singing your songs back to you is an indescribable thing.”
“I think the only festival I ever went to was Warped Tour.”
“I recorded 'The End of All Things' right before I married my now wife. We had no vows publicly, so I wrote her this song and told her, 'This is how I see our relationship.'”
“I'm a pretty good drummer. I'm pretty good at guitar, bass and piano. I can play accordion; I'm not virtuoso. I've played cello before. My sister played it, and I know how to play it, but I'm not the best. Violin is kind of the same thing.”
“Writing a song to be a single is hard, and I don't like to focus on that because you can get caught up in making something just terrible, which is really easy to do if you're focused on making it a single. It's more fun when you focus on what excites you musically.”
“You can create some soul out of something that's electronic or mechanical.”
“I learned about being positive from my parents. They're the most positive people I've ever known.”
“My music library is all over the place. I've got A$AP Rocky; I've got Billy Joel. I've got, like, Celine Dion albums that I just worship. There's all kinds of different stuff.”
“I want to inflict some change on people.”
“I find myself being attracted to dudes all the time. I'm like, 'Wow, that's a beautiful man.' There's no shame in it; that's how I feel.”
“What I love is getting polarized opinions.”
“There's so much music from Led Zeppelin that I think I overlooked when I was a kid because I didn't understand it, so now to revisit it at an older age, I have a deeper appreciation for it.”
“Panic! at the Disco, for me, has been an outlet to do whatever. I never felt like there were any rules. It was always carte blanche. I could do whatever I wanted. There were no rules set yet for the band. It just felt right.”
“You can't just be a musician; you have to be an entertainer and perform and act just to hit the bar.”
