Quote

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.

It's a real challenge to complete a story arc and end up with a cool punchline in 120 characters.

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.

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.

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.

Then when we did the untitled record, we just didn't feel like putting joke stuff on it, so we didn't. It wasn't really a deliberation or a real introspective thing like, Are we going to joke on this one, are we not going to joke on this one? We just didn't feel like it on the untitled one, so we didn't.

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.

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.

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.

Music is in every country and every culture around the world. It's universal.

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...'

Thank God I never got in a fight. All of the jock dudes hated me, but all of their girlfriends thought I was nice so they wouldn't touch me. It was infuriating to them.

I don't want to spend a month and a half in a studio with music I don't like, and fortunately I don't have to.
