Spencer Smith: (on new members Ian Crawford and Dallon Weekes) They're friends, so the decision was easy... Ian is probably the most talented guitar player that me and Brendon have ever played with, and Dallon is a really nice guy and a really great bassist... We're really excited.
Brendon Urie: On why they kicked Brent Wilson out of the band He wasn't a good musician, and he wasn't willing to work hard enough to take it seriously.
Brendon Urie: (about "Pretty. Odd." Producer Matt Squire) We were really uptight when we were writing. We were like, "Man this sucks. We have to work on this chorus." He was like, "No, man, the chorus is good. Leave it alone." He helped us pick the priorities for songs. He was pretty much on the same wavelength as us. He got the idea that we wanted. That's the first time we ever worked with anyone else. There's a lot you can learn from Matt Squire. He's quite the mentor.
