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.

I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football.

I think we have the worst name in rock, I really do. It's the worst name in the world

My job description is that I'm a rock star. And I'm good at it.

You can't live on planet rock star 24/7; you have to be down and dirty and have some fun.

I wrote a song called "Green Day" because I was smoking a lot of dope.

A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean.
