I hate television. I hate the internet. I hate cell phones. I hate cameras. I hate everything that destroys creativity.

With age, it really becomes thinking about how time has passed - that's sort of the root of age.

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

Music to me is the air I breathe it's the blood that pumps through my veins that keeps me alive

I definitely related a lot to Perry [from That's Ordinary World movie]. I liked how he put family first. I identified with the exhaustion and klutziness that comes with being a parent, and how he's just a rock-and-roller at heart. For me, it was fun to kind of imagine whether or not this could've been the path I went on, or not.

And for our fans, they're just crazy people anyway. I always look at people in a Green Day shirt, and I think, 'What's wrong with that person? What kind of hang-ups does that person have?' Obviously, it's not just the catchy songs, it goes deeper than that.

That's the gamble that you make when you decide to become a rock musician. It's totally unpredictable.
