I think the work is always personal. This album differs. It seems to be a lot more positive. It seems to have a certain amount of optimism about it.

It's better to have a pocket full of regrets than to never have lived.

Nobody likes to hear a f**king rock star talk about his problems

Marriage is a really scary thing. I'm excited about it. I know it's not a mistake, it's the absolute right thing to do. I'm really happy about it. I really, really love my fiancee. We're good friends and I think it's going to work. But that's just the point - it's going to take work. It does make me feel vulnerable to be like, wow, I'm committed to this person for the rest of my life.

Punk's not dead, it's just at K-Mart.

The disparity between being a 10-year-old boy playing air guitar, wishing I was a rock star, and the reality of the whole thing is insane. A girl will throw her bra onstage, and I say to myself, if I was the guy that pumped your gas today, would you throw your bra at me?

I wasn't good at sports and I needed a way to make girls like me.
