Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

I don't really give a f**k about the mainstream. The mainstream doesn't offer me anything. Why would I offer it anything? I love the world I have. I love the sort of subculture that Green Day represents.

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's no use analyzing your life the whole time. Those analyses won't help you when you're dead

If you start planning too far ahead, the next thing you know you forget you're living today
