I have nothing to prove. I just want to follow the music. I love making records. I love playing live. That's it. There's nothing outside of that. I look forward to the weirdness that's in front of us every day.

We work super hard to not have to work

For me, it's important to get back to fundamentally what it feels like to be an American. We all come from different backgrounds, but we come together and create this world. It's like a microcosm for the rest of the world. I want people to feel unity when they come to a show.

I started playing bass for the same reason everyone else does – I’m a lousy guitarist.

I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons.

It makes me extremely proud to make punk rock the biggest music in the world right now.

Music's awesome, it's the closest thing we have to magic.
