The record [American Idiot ] felt special to us, when we recorded it, with all of the artwork and the concept behind it and it being a rock opera, but we didn't really know where it was going to go. It's like I always say, you just follow the music. Not only was American Idiot a special moment for us, but it also led to Ordinary World, too.

We are not afraid to be entertainers.

Eventually, if something pops up, that's cool, but I still wanna continue the process of learning how to be a good actor.

School is practice for future life, practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect, so why practice?

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

Music - that's been my education. There's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted.

That's where all good music comes from, I think - anything that's likely to have an impact on pop culture comes from a point where there's no expectation of it becoming anything other than personal.
