More quotes by Mark Hoppus
Farts and poop are still funny and will always be funny.
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
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.
Mark Hoppus
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.
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
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 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
My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong.
Mark Hoppus
Make yourself do something stupid so when you really do something stupid you won't feel so bad
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
Writing music and lyrics that mean something personal to me. It's an exciting, intense, cathartic, this-is-who-I-am experience.
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
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
Life's too short to sit through songs you don't love.
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
True happiness for me is playing a concert in Blink-182, and then hanging out with my friends and my wife and son, and going out for Mexican food.
Mark Hoppus
There is nothing more awkward and more laughable than a naked dude with his wiener flopping.
Mark Hoppus
I firmly believe artists should be paid for what they create.

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