U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.

I don't like the monikers, and I don't like being pigeonholed. You know, I'm a human being.

I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.

These days young kids don't have any place to form an epic adventure. It's more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That's very hard on them. They're being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It's so sad.

As a human being, I'm work in process.

My way of thinking as I approach any human being on this planet is, 'What are you doing now?' That's what interests me. I don't come at anybody with a whole bunch of assumptions.

Punk is like looking at a mirror. I already have a mirror so I don't need the Offspring to remind me how gorgeous I am.
