Vegetables....a waste of good plate space
Mark Hoppus
I don't stream or buy CDs pretty much everything I buy, I do it on iTunes.
Mark Hoppus
Writing music and lyrics that mean something personal to me. It's an exciting, intense, cathartic, this-is-who-I-am experience.
Mark Hoppus
I don't have a problem being on 'MTV,' and I don't have a problem being on the radio. I actually like it. So there. And anyone that calls me a sell out is just jealous.

I feel like being in a band, you get license to be a kid forever.

Hard work, studying and perseverance will get you no where in life......it's all about kissing ass

Take it from me because I learned the hard way: circumcisions are best left to professionals.

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.

What I love about Blink-128 is that we write catchy melodies with dark lyrics.

I dated the same girl all through high school.

The process of introducing people to new music is amazing. It's a gift. One of the best parts of any day is when someone says, 'Hey, check out this new band...'
Mark Hoppus
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.

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.
Mark Hoppus
I still feel like we're the underdogs, but I feel like people respect us now. People might not like our band or love our music, but I think people respect the fact that we've been doing this for many years and are still doing it and still able to play three giant New York City shows and have people come out.

If something is wrong with you, hate someone else for it
Mark Hoppus
During the downtime on tour, I simply walk from room to room, staring into my computer.
Mark Hoppus
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.
Mark Hoppus
It usually happens spur of the moment, like when I broke up My Chemical Romance, it was just that day that I decided it was time for them to be done. And people were very upset about it so I have to choose my next victims carefully.
Mark Hoppus
The fact that music can induce Goosebumps draw a tear inspire and connect is one of my favorite parts of being human
Mark Hoppus
I grew up the biggest fan of the Cure. Knew every lyric, had every album, B-side, single, poster, everything. Then cut to fifteen years later, and we're working on songs together. Ridiculous.
