People aren't really paying attention when they're listening to your record, so unless you're shouting exactly what you want them to hear, they don't pay attention.

What we get in punk these days are layers of 'anti-', and so many of them are so self-serving. It's not about larger freedom.

We should self-examine and talk about things like our own white privilege and these phony senses of being an artist.

There's definitely privilege in the upper classes, but as a whole, music can be enjoyed by anybody who can gather around a radio.

People see musicians on a huge stage playing a festival for 80,000 people and are like, "Oh, they have such magnetism," but it always embarrasses me more than it makes me feel proud.

Art is the one thing that's the universal virtue that you can have in any class.

The future of punk rock has nothing to do with guitars. Everything interesting that I've heard in years has been nearly all electronic.

I know how absurd things can get. I've had years where I've had questionable things going on in my life.

I got married in Vegas on Warped Tour on July 4 - that's how crazy my life has been.

Age is inevitable. Aging isn't.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

Every step of the way we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is pilin' up, we struggle and we scrape We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape

Populists have never had a good press in Freedom's land.

What other creature, besides the lion, the tiger, and the whale, can answer Creation in its own language?

get married with the feeling it is going to last. Not like the bride I know who doubled the wedding cake recipe and froze one.

The ugly is very appealing to man. It's instinct. One shrinks from the ugly, yet wants to look at it. There's a devilish fascination in it. We extract pleasure from horror.

What I thought 41 would be at 26 is definitely not what I feel now. I still feel incredibly youthful on the inside, in my brain.

Jesus is all the world to me my life, my joy, my all. He is my strength from day to day Without Him, I would fall.
