Listen to the silence. Listen to your life. Be present, not just think about what's going on next week, next month.

Be yourself. Unless you have the option to be Batman, then always be Batman.

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.

Green Day is like sex, when were good, were really good, when were bad . . . were still pretty damn good.

When I listen to songs, I can smell a rat. I like songs that speak to me with some deeper truth.
