Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality.

Thats what Green Day is-there are no rules.

Dont test me, Second guess me, Protest me, You will DISAPEAR! (East Jesus of Nowhere)

To me, it doesn't feel like it's just another rock record that somebody put out. It feels like we taped into the culture a little bit

As agent asked if I wanted to be represented, and I said, "Yeah, sure, I'll give it a shot!" It was never something I had really put that much thought into. But then, Lee Kirk reached out and asked if I was interested, and I read the script of the [Ordinary World] and said, "Absolutely!"

With the video for Boulevard of Broken Dreams we were going for something a bit like Ladykillers, you know? Pretty and demented at the same time...like me!

To do something that you feel in your heart that's great, you need to make a lot of mistakes. Anything that's successful is a series of mistakes.
