We've been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.
A punk concert isn't fun without a pit.
You don't mow another man's lawn!
You don't get nothing and like it.
I just plug in and let go.
I threw a big-ass party. It turned out a bit different from Perry's [in That's Ordinary World], but it was pretty nuts. It wasn't me that threw it though, my wife threw me a surprise party. So [unlike Selma Blair's character] she didn't forget.
I don't care what you do, I just don't want to be a mud hippie like you. [From 1994 woodstock]
My brother David was a great athlete and I knew there was no way I could live up to that.
You can't go voicing something if it's just not right.
With the video for Boulevard of Broken Dreams we were going for something a bit like Ladykillers, you know? Pretty and demented at the same time...like me!
Well, you know, I look at myself in the morning and yes, yeah I-I am a God.
I started off small and then this was just the great opportunity.
The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.
My wife is the CEO of the family. I'm the fun guy, just trying to make it up as I go along.
