Now everything is available at the push of a button, and that thrill of the search is gone. With vinyl albums and special edition releases, I feel like that's coming back.

I feel like being in a band, you get license to be a kid forever.

I liked seventeen-year-old me, I was happy when I was seventeen. I was this troubled goth kid that wore eyeliner and make-up to school and listened to punk-rock music and I loved my friends and I started to make music - I like seventeen-year-old me.

I feel like anyone can be a kid forever as long as you have that mindset and attitude towards the world.

If at first you don't succeed, pay someone else to do it for you.

What I love about Blink-128 is that we write catchy melodies with dark lyrics.

I think that happiness is a great thing to strive for, but very difficult to maintain - people are always striving for something different, and something better.

I don't think any of us felt like, "Oh, we need to put joke songs on the record." If we found something funny, we would record it, and if we wanted to, we'd put it on the record. It's not really something we spent too much time agonizing over.

When people are amped up, they listen to more upbeat, loud songs. A Frank Sinatra album sets a certain mood, just as a Clash record sets another.

If we tried to write about politics, you'd realize that we're all a bunch of idiots.

Every one of those old songs like "What's My Age Again?" and "All the Small Things" is like a tattoo or a scrapbook or an old photograph. There are just songs that define certain moments in your life. Everyone has a song that got them through a bad breakup or they put on and it made them feel like they wanted to go out and kick the world's ass with their friends on a weekend. Those songs still feel like that to me.

When I was growing up skateboarding, a bunch of friends and I went to this thrift store and as we were leaving I jumped up and passed gas in my friend's face. I turned around and it wasn't my friend, it was this nice old lady who was just walking out of the store. That was probably one of the more awkward apologies I've had to make in my life.

You guys are lucky, cuz in Europe, like you can show boobs on TV and like in magazines and what not. We're Americans so the slightest, the slightest glimpse of a nipple will.

I think age is just a stupid number.

I don't stream or buy CDs... pretty much everything I buy, I do it on iTunes.

The process of introducing people to new music is amazing. It's a gift. One of the best parts of any day is when someone says, 'Hey, check out this new band...'

Music is in every country and every culture around the world. It's universal.

We're really good friends and we hang out. It's like I get to hang out with my friends and get paid for it.

If your like me, you like to wait till your parents are having sex and walk in on them and act like its an accident, and then ask if you can join in.

I kinda like the duality of California and the dark side, the underbelly of California, and I think that's what this album ['California']feels like - there's endless hope and optimism but there's also a darker side.

A real punk is punk on the inside.
