More quotes by Mark Hoppus
The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up, the sports I liked were independent sports, like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding, and not necessarily team televised sports.
Mark Hoppus
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.

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.

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.

I don't stream or buy CDs pretty much everything I buy, I do it on iTunes.

What I love about Blink-128 is that we write catchy melodies with dark lyrics.
Mark Hoppus
I feel like being in a band, you get license to be a kid forever.
Mark Hoppus
Now everything is available at the push of a button, and that thrill of the search is gone. With vinyl albums and special edition releases, I feel like that's coming back.
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
And anyone that calls me a sell-out is just jealous.
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
Make yourself look really stupid so you don't feel bad doing something a little stupid.
Mark Hoppus
Mom's dad was in the army, stormed the beach at Normandy, fought through the French hedgerows, the Battle of the Ardennes, the Battle of the Bulge, and liberated concentration camps at the end of the war.

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