Urie: "I love traveling, I love waking up in a new city every day."

Urie: "Panic! for me has been an outlet for nonchalant chaos. It gives me full ride to fulfill this dream that anything is possible because of this band."

Urie: "I like surprising myself. I don't want to do the norm, do what I'm always known to do, write how I like to write."

Urie: "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."

Urie: "I have no qualms: no shame, no guilt, no embarrassment. I tend to act out a lot."

Urie: "I like to see how other people work and be part of their stuff and see what I can do to be part of their worlds. Its a pretty big challenge, and that excites me."

Urie: "What I love is getting polarized opinions." 

Urie: "Having a very serious thematic element in the lyrics and then juxtaposing with something really triumphant and just a big beat to dance to is a nice contrast to having a dark message."

Urie: "It's cool to be different and just be who you are and shock people in a good way."

Urie: "I think, for me, one of the biggest things that I struggle with is keeping the excitement up when writing a song. A lot of times, I'll get pretty frustrated early on."

Urie: "When you can't put your finger on it, that's the most exciting stuff." 

Urie: "I have a room dedicated to music and recording. I go there first thing in the morning and just before I go to bed. And it has a window to my street, so I can watch all the crazies walking by."

Urie: "The future should be exciting, you know? It shouldn't be a nerve-wracking experience."

Urie: "There was a kid that used to pick on me... he used to drop my food and beat me up in little corners. Nothing serious, but tease me. I remember knocking his food out of his hand one time when he in the middle of explaining something to his friends, and they all laughed, so I thought that was pretty nice. 'Well, there you go buddy.'"

Urie: "Since I was a kid - youngest of five kids - I've always been starved for attention, like 'Look at me! Look at me! Look what I can do!'"

Urie: "Some of my favourite record and album covers and stuff have all been the singer, and they create a character, and they dress up a little bit."

Urie: "If you kill the arts, you kill love, and you kill progress."

Urie: "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."

Urie: "I've never considered myself a lyricist, but I have stuff to say."

Urie: "I still use a lot of good values from growing up in the Church, and there was a sense of community. But you were also being heavily judged by people that wanted to look down on you for not being as great as they are."

Urie: "My capacity for wanting to create has never faltered. If anything, it's gained momentum."

Urie: "I think, for me, one of the biggest things that I struggle with is keeping the excitement up when writing a song. A lot of times, I'll get pretty frustrated early on."

Urie: "I was a maniac as a teenager; I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I was crazy."

Urie: "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."

Urie: "It's just really cool to go to countries and play festivals for people who don't really know your band or don't ever get to see it. It's really nice."

Urie: "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."

Urie: "I'm always creating. Whether I'm writing a lyric or making a beat, every day I'm doing something."

Urie: "Synthesizers were looked at as stealing the soul of music, but then there were these new bands who used it to contradict that idea."
