Thats what Green Day is-there are no rules.

I'm an idiot anyway, but sometimes you feel like an idiot times ten when you're stoned.

If journalists ask you again and again about the same bands, you'll end up saying you hate them just because you're so fed up with being asked all those stupid questions.

The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.

Songs are like a form of chaos that you can control. It's a form of intelligence that maybe you only understand and you hope that someone else can understand. And you can be anyone you want: you can be as grandiose as you want or you can be as down in the gutter as you want. It's just sort of whatever emotional freeway you're on at the time.

What annoys the hell out of me is the arrogance of some people. They don't even listen to our music, they decided in advance that they don't like it.

Never run in the rain with your socks on.
