I don't really have any secret shames. If I like an artist, I like them. Nothing to feel embarrassed about.

I think that breaking into the mainstream - it was just the right cycle of music for us in Blink-182. People were kind of over the boy-band, pop-princess, manufactured sensibility, and were excited for guitars and angst and energy and enthusiasm, which is our thing.

Maybe people would be surprised to know that I listen to old Neil Diamond albums from time to time. The man rocks. I defy anyone to prove me wrong.

We just kind of did our own thing and got made fun of by the popular kids. It was kind of like a badge of honor to be an outcast.

Farts and poop are still funny and will always be funny.

I like that about human nature, that people are always striving to do better, and find something new.

Look at me... look at me... I need the attention, oooh I'm punk rock I got some tattoos, I got some piercings. If I'm gonna get some piercings then I want everyone to see it...I don't need to advertise my punkness. A real punk doesn't need to show off...Its like a Karate man... the Karate man bleed on the inside. A real punk is punk on the inside.
