The labels can't do anything for a band anymore - they're stuck and they have no money and they're just holding onto contracts that have existed from a time where there were resources.

They say Einstein died while he was still trying to figure out gravity. I think I'm going to die still trying to figure out some of the things about Blink.

When we started Angels Airwaves, we wanted to produce our art on different mediums, but the film was an ambitious one because we actually didn't go into it thinking we could make a big feature film.

I've been abducted and probed in the anus. On purpose.

I think that one of the reasons that we chose the word love as the subject is because your human connection and how you affect everybody around you, you'll only understand the gravity of that as you pass later on in life. I think as artists it's our ability to communicate that in certain ways.

Angels and Airwaves is a complete, pure reflection of who I am. The philosophy, the spiritualism, the esotericism, the idea of hope and space and the themes about life and grandeur that's all me.

The Angels shows are really intense. We play for a couple hours at a time. They're very theatrical and full of audience interaction and emotion. I've seen a lot of people crying and stuff. It's a little bit like church, but it's very secular.

I've realized that I love all forms of music and get excited when any artist goes crazy and creates something that is an experience.
Tom DeLonge
Image
We just write down a bunch of words, and pray to god they make sense. And if we don't, it doesn't matter, we're artists.

The only reason in the world that I bought a computer was to look up UFO sites.

Playing music in the wake of the Blink thing was like finding love in the middle of a war zone.

I've never been a jam-band sort of musician.

You don't even wish for the success that I had, because you don't think it's attainable.

I used to drink a lot of beer, but I was just getting fat as can be. Now that we've had a little success, I can afford to drink wine.

My whole life has been completely about being underestimated. I remember when Blink signed to a major label, and we had a debut party for the signing. No one came to party, only the guy that signed us. And I remember sitting there, like, S**t, no one likes this.

I know how big Blink are and I know the legacy with it and everything, but Angels & Airwaves, to my heart and to the people who like it, this is the release of my life.

I have to make music. If I don't do it, I go crazy.
