Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.
You guys are lucky, cuz in Europe, like you can show boobs on TV and like in magazines and what not. We're Americans so the slightest, the slightest glimpse of a nipple will.
Why do scuba divers fall backwards off a boat? Because if they fell forwards they'd still be in the boat.
A lot of guys like to fantasize about having sex with 2 girls at the same time. . . I like to fantasize about having sex with the same girl twice, thank you.
Thats not a place where I'm considered good-looking.
I would probably say, 'Don't worry so much about stuff as you grow up. '
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.
Hard work, studying and perseverance will get you no where in life. . . . . . it's all about kissing ass
If something is wrong with you, hate someone else for it
I don't have a problem being on 'MTV,' and I don't have a problem being on the radio. I actually like it. So there. And anyone that calls me a sell out is just jealous.
I feel like being in a band, you get license to be a kid forever.
I don't really have any secret shames. If I like an artist, I like them. Nothing to feel embarrassed about.
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.
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.
I think that breaking into the mainstream - it was just the right cycle of music for us in Blink-182. People were kind of over the boy-band, pop-princess, manufactured sensibility, and were excited for guitars and angst and energy and enthusiasm, which is our thing.
No matter what, I think people are trying to better themselves, or to better their situation, or to find something new and exciting.
It really expresses a man in pain.
I hate it when people try to act cool. I hope they all get gonorreah and die.
From a very early age, my wife and I told our son that there are times and places for everything. I told him, look, when you're in class, you have to be quiet and listen to your teacher, but when you go out to the playground, you can scream and be silly.
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.
