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.

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.

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

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.

Punk is no longer a subculture or a counterculture in any way. It's totally just a small reflecting mirror for the same things that go on in larger culture.

We live in a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.

When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him.

I was delighted that by campaigning throughout England, Scotland and Wales, addressing in all 39 public meetings, I had contributed to the victory of the Conservative Party at this general election.

When I don't know the answer to something, I write a book about it because it gives me a chance to explore it and go to some people who do have the answers.

I prayed, thanking God, for making it all possible for me, because I knew where I came from.

Allegories are, in the realm of thought, what ruins are in the realm of things.
