More quotes by 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.
Mark Hoppus
It's a real challenge to complete a story arc and end up with a cool punchline in 120 characters.
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'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.
Mark Hoppus
What I love about Blink-128 is that we write catchy melodies with dark lyrics.
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
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
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.

If at first you don't succeed, pay someone else to do it for you.
Mark Hoppus
I feel like being in a band, you get license to be a kid forever.
Mark Hoppus
Life's too short to sit through songs you don't love.

We reserve the right to make fun of every single person on planet Earth.
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.

Being a producer is a very different experience than writing my own songs.
Mark Hoppus
I liked seventeen-year-old me, I was happy when I was seventeen. I was this troubled goth kid that wore eyeliner and make-up to school and listened to punk-rock music and I loved my friends and I started to make music - I like seventeen-year-old me.
Mark Hoppus
Never let anyone tell you how to live your life.
Mark Hoppus
I really enjoy helping a band form their sounds and ideas from initial spark to completed album. Being a producer is different in that, at the end of the day, it is not my art. It's THEIR art, THEIR ideas, THEIR message.
Mark Hoppus
I firmly believe artists should be paid for what they create.

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