I always dreamed of going out to space. The idea of going to a planet where nobody's ever been is attractive to me, it just suits my nature.

When you create something you leave little crumbs of stuff that you've experienced or music that you've listened to.

It's awkward, because sometimes you find new friends that are cooler than your old friends, and then your old friends desperately try to cling on to you even though you sort of hate them by now.

I have no interest in making music solely for a white audience. If that's what our audience is, I don't really feel responsible for that.

I have a hard time with extreme imagery. Like I can't watch horror movies or anything like that.

At least for me personally, drugs aren't an essential part of having a surreal experience, or what you might call a higher experience.

Drugs don't have to be a part of that to me, so if somebody says - your music takes me to that sort of place - then I'm really psyched.

I'm really into the idea of playing sit-down drums again. I don't know if it'll end up that way, but as of right now, that's what I'm interested in doing.

Even though there's stuff that I really like that is just a retro sort of style or whatever, I feel like what I'm most excited by is new mixes of things.

I feel like in a conversation if things get said and then repeated, it sort of becomes inherently part of the narrative whether you want it to be or not.

I guess that's my defence, is like - even if people think it sucks - it's not me anymore, you know.

Our creative dreams are subject to grudge-holding when we decide that other people somehow have made their dreams real and we have not.

You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Peace Love Rock and Roll!!!

The cost of taxpayer compliance with [the tax code] is over $80 billion per year, more than eight times the cost of the IRS budget

In compassionate men, severity is a virtue.

So she was considering in her own mind...whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up & picking the daisies.

Helpless lust and unreasoning anxiety were just part of growing up.

Kenya doesn't have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film of this scale. Our producer decided that for the film to really work it had to be in Kenya.

When people are mean to you, win them over with kindness. If it doesn't work, you still win.

We're Green Day. We can do whatever we want.
