There was a great push and pull of what Blink-128 should sound like all the time. Travis Barker comes from a different background than I do, and Tom DeLonge comes from a different background than either of us in terms of what we write and what we think a song should be. Tom pushes me out of a box that I put myself in.

I live to play music, and hang out with my wife and kid, and hang out with my friends, and discover the world. Read books, watch movies, see art, see the world, meet new people.

I don't want to spend a month and a half in a studio with music I don't like, and fortunately I don't have to.

Yeah, I actually do know where I am.

It's hard to cover for someone who's disrespectful and ungrateful...To say, 'I didn't quit the band' is just not true. It's disingenuous.

I miss the experience of walking into a record store and find old stuff without expecting to.

It feels humiliating to be in a band where you have to be apologizing for one person all the time.
