I'm an optimistic agnostic. I think the second we die, within a matter of seconds, everybody else arrives, and that's the party, and you live your hell on earth.

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

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

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

Grab life by the balls and squeeze.

I love our country. My dad served in the army. I always grew up with a song sense of belonging as an American. But I was also in the counterculture and I was coming from a place of fearing the police. So I was anti-establishment, but also loving your country. It's kind of an ironic sort of upbringing.

I think that's the most important thing you can do to be a real person - is to be honest with yourself.
