I dated the same girl all through high school.

Being a producer is a very different experience than writing my own songs.

I don't think any of us felt like, Oh, we need to put joke songs on the record. If we found something funny, we would record it, and if we wanted to, we'd put it on the record. It's not really something we spent too much time agonizing over.

I just want everyone out there to know that I'm super-awesome and a great guy and really cool to talk to and that I appreciate all the support.

During the downtime on tour, I simply walk from room to room, staring into my computer.

Thats not a place where I'm considered good-looking.

And anyone that calls me a sell-out is just jealous.

The collectability of music is something lost in the age of MP3s and album downloads. Holding an album in your hands and having the full-sized artwork reconnects the artist and the listener.

I don't think of them as teenage songs. The things that happen to you in high school are the same things that happen your entire life. You can fall in love at 60 you can get rejected at 80.

I firmly believe artists should be paid for what they create.

There was a great push and pull of what Blink-128 should sound like all the time. Travis Barker comes from a different background than I do, and Tom DeLonge comes from a different background than either of us in terms of what we write and what we think a song should be. Tom pushes me out of a box that I put myself in.

It's so easy to put music out that it's difficult to sift through stuff that I don't like to find stuff I do like.

Maybe people would be surprised to know that I listen to old Neil Diamond albums from time to time. The man rocks. I defy anyone to prove me wrong.

The strongest human emotion is probably love. I think it's universal. I think that across language and country and time and everything else, probably love.

My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong.

Once you declare your loyalty to a team, every person who doesn't support that team, it's their job to ruin you, to tell you you're an idiot and to tell you that you made the wrong choice.

Life's too short to sit through songs you don't love.

I think age is just a stupid number.
