With marriage and fatherhood, I’ve finally found two fixed points in my life. They’ve taught me patience. They’ve also taught me that I don’t need to feel guilty about being happy. My emotional seasons are less extreme. – Pete Wentz
I like individual scents on a girl, so you always recognize her and you keep her separate from other people in your head. I really love Egyptian musk. I’ve even gone to the mall and sprayed perfumes and just smelled them. I’m creepy. So creepy. – Pete Wentz
It’s strange – there’s a public persona of me that does nothing for me: the side of me where it’s ‘US Weekly,’ where 12 cars sit outside my house because of who I married. That side never shuts off. I would like that to shut off sometimes, yes. – Pete Wentz
In the past, my brain would never stop. Now I’m a father; the world no longer revolves around me. When I’m with Bronx, he’s got my complete attention. He’s the only thing that occupies my thoughts. – Pete Wentz
It’s bizarre to have both a super-connected and disconnected world. Like, you can use Twitter in the most narcissistic way. Do people really need to know that I’m drinking a latte right now? It’s so indulgent. – Pete Wentz
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. – Pete Wentz
Somewhere I just want to find someone that’s going to love me forever no matter what; I want someone to show the inside of my head to. That thought keeps me going. – Pete Wentz
I think I ended up on ‘People’s ’50 Most Beautiful People’ list just because of eyeliner, which is kind of a bummer. But if you do find the right color, it will make your eyes pop. – Pete Wentz
I think we live a culture that’s obsessed with people, you know, ‘Celebrities are just like us!’ Everything I do except my job is critically analyzed online. – Pete Wentz
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. – 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. – Pete Wentz
I had aspirations to do different things with my life. I wanted to play soccer. I wanted to be a lawyer. Serendipity. – Pete Wentz
I think it’s important to look at the world as a bigger place than just the bubble that we live in. It’s so easy to get caught up in things of a trivial nature. – Pete Wentz
I remember my first kisses with a lot of people, and they’re rad experiences. And you don’t have to really take it to that next level because that’s what keeps it exciting. – Pete Wentz
When I was in high school, my thing was to get as close as humanly possible to a girl and just make her have to kiss me! You do the hug that’s too close, where your mouth is close to hers and you kinda feel it out a little bit. – Pete Wentz
Ultimately, people do want to buy merch and tickets to support their favorite bands, but they don’t want to feel like it’s the only thing going on. – Pete Wentz
I like idolator.com a lot. Every once in a while they shred me on there, but it’s usually pretty funny. – Pete Wentz
When I read a review, 90% of the review is about my lifestyle, and the last two sentences are about the record. – Pete Wentz
