I want to go home and just go for a long walk. And where I want to go, I have no idea
Anything that is successful is a series of mistakes.
I just wanted to get the hell out of my town. I wanted to leave with reckless abandon. I didn't care where I ended up, as long as I saw as much as humanly possible.
When I was done with the movie [Ordinary World], I felt really compelled to start working on another album. Little did I know, they were going to come out back to back.
A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean.
I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.
If someone falls down, pick them back up. Just because there's not a frickin camera in your face doesn't mean you don't have to look out for each other.
This never gets old, and when it does, I'll go do a movie. I like the fact that I can get into other projects because everything feels fresh when I come back to music.
Our passion is our strength.
We pride ourselves on trying to put on the best show we can and we're not afraid to say that we happen to be the best live band in the world
My goal is to be one of the biggest bands in the world, and I have never been bashful about saying that.
We had a lot of fun together. We really were in sync with each other, a lot.Madisyn Shipman is a great kid.
Punk is always something that's going to be with us and to try and explain that would be stupid at this point.
We're gonna get high, high, high, when we're low. The fires burn from better days. She scream why, oh why? I said I don't know!
