More quotes by Mark Hoppus
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.
Mark Hoppus
The past is only the future with the lights on
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
California to me as a concept or as an idea always seems like endless optimism and endless opportunity - when people think of California they think of palm trees and blue skies and gorgeous sunsets and beaches and everything else.
Mark Hoppus
Maybe people would be surprised to know that I listen to old Neil Diamond albums from time to time. The man rocks. I defy anyone to prove me wrong.
Mark Hoppus
I think age is just a stupid number.
Mark Hoppus
During the downtime on tour, I simply walk from room to room, staring into my computer.
Mark Hoppus
I don't really have any secret shames. If I like an artist, I like them. Nothing to feel embarrassed about.

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

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.
Mark Hoppus
I did mostly good things, except light things on fire.
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
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
The thing you realize as you get older is that parents don't know what the Hell they're doing and neither will you when you get to be a parent
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
All the really pretty girls get pregnant.
Mark Hoppus
Never let anyone tell you how to live your life.
Mark Hoppus
A real punk is punk on the inside.

What I love about Blink-128 is that we write catchy melodies with dark lyrics.
