Pete Wentz

As a kid, I always went to therapists; the first time was when my parents were separated on my sixth birthday, then on and off since then.

Sometimes the person that is best for you is the person right under your nose. I wanted to have a girlfriend in high school, and I know I would have treated a girl well, but instead I was just friends with a lot of girls. They ended up telling me later on, 'We're so perfect together,' but at the time, I wasn't the cool-enough guy.

When I heard 'Dookie' by Green Day for the first time, it unlocked something in me, like, it's totally okay that I'm a little bit weird because these guys are a little bit weird. It made me want to pick up an instrument and do that.

I feel confidence in myself, but at the same time there's these cracks in the facade and those little things underneath that are unstable.

I'm attracted to creative people and train wrecks, and there's no shortage of that in Los Angeles.
