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.

More quotes by Mark Hoppus
I don't really have any secret shames. If I like an artist, I like them. Nothing to feel embarrassed about.
Mark Hoppus
Make yourself look really stupid so you don't feel bad doing something a little stupid.
Mark Hoppus
It's hard to cover for someone who's disrespectful and ungrateful...To say, 'I didn't quit the band' is just not true. It's disingenuous.
Mark Hoppus
We reserve the right to make fun of every single person on planet Earth.
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 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.
Mark Hoppus
Vegetables....a waste of good plate space
Mark Hoppus
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.
Mark Hoppus
I believe that artists should be paid for their creativity. There's no other industry where people can come in and take what you create for free and give it away for free and that's acceptable.
Mark Hoppus
I think age is just a stupid number.
Mark Hoppus
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.
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
What I love about Blink-128 is that we write catchy melodies with dark lyrics.
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.
Mark Hoppus
Being a producer is a very different experience than writing my own songs.
Mark Hoppus
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.
Mark Hoppus
I live to play music, and hang out with my wife and kid, and hang out with my friends, and discover the world. Read books, watch movies, see art, see the world, meet new people.
Mark Hoppus
Every single day that you walk outside your house is something new and different and exciting.
Mark Hoppus
Music is in every country and every culture around the world. It's universal.
