I think that happiness is a great thing to strive for, but very difficult to maintain - people are always striving for something different, and something better.
Mark HoppusI like that about human nature, that people are always striving to do better, and find something new.
Mark HoppusI think people take Blink-128 more seriously now than they did before. And it's largely our fault because we called our records Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. We were always kind of the underdogs, especially critically. People wrote us off as this joke band. But the people who listened to Blink knew that we were silly and whatever, but we wrote songs about divorce and suicide and depression. Those kids that were listening to Blink are now the ones that control all these outlets that used to just write us off.
