I'm a songwriter-I'm obligated to keep pushing myself.

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.

You don't get nothing and like it.

Punk rock isn't supposed to be for everyone. There is that sort of private club mentality, which is necessary. It keeps things from getting watered down and boring.

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

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

If me and Mike Dirnt are in the same room, it's not quite right if he's not on stage with me.
