It totally ruins my voice. I quit smoking, drinking, and doing ecstasy.

Everything in high school seems like the most important thing that's ever happened in your life. It's not. You'll get out of high school and you never see those people again. All the people who torment and press you won't make a difference in your life in the long haul.

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.

Screw them. Yeah. But not literally. I'm not advocating promiscuity.

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.

I lived in small town out in the desert and my friend used to steal his mom's car in the middle of the night. He'd drive over to my house, I'd sneak out and we'd go out to the desert and just burn things down.

Thank God I never got in a fight. All of the jock dudes hated me, but all of their girlfriends thought I was nice so they wouldn't touch me. It was infuriating to them.

I don't think of them as teenage songs. The things that happen to you in high school are the same things that happen your entire life. You can fall in love at 60; you can get rejected at 80.

It totally ruins my voice. I quit smoking, drinking, and doing ecstasy.

All the really pretty girls get pregnant.

The thing you realize as you get older is that parents don't know what the Hell they're doing and neither will you when you get to be a parent.

We just kind of did our own thing and got made fun of by the popular kids. It was kind of like a badge of honor to be an outcast.

I dated the same girl all through high school.

The naked thing was short-lived. It was only around for about six months because we thought it was shocking. Once people expected us to do it we kind of never did it again.

I did mostly good things, except light things on fire.

My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong.

All I can hope to do is instill great morality in my son and trust him along the way. The music he listens to or how he chooses to wear his hair doesn't define his moral compass, and if he wants to listen to country music and wear a cowboy hat too, that's fine.

Antarctica is otherworldly, like nothing I've ever seen before. Stark, cold, beautiful desolation.

During the downtime on tour, I simply walk from room to room, staring into my computer.

From a very early age, my wife and I told our son that there are times and places for everything. I told him, look, when you're in class, you have to be quiet and listen to your teacher, but when you go out to the playground, you can scream and be silly.

I believe that artists should be paid for their creativity. There's no other industry where people can come in and take what you create for free and give it away for free and that's acceptable.

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

I just want everyone out there to know that I'm super-awesome and a great guy and really cool to talk to and that I appreciate all the support.

I miss the experience of walking into a record store and find old stuff without expecting to.

I never thought of punk rock as the absolute act of rebellion for the sake of rebellion. There's a lot of that in there, but for me I think punk rock was always about questioning things and making decisions for yourself, which is a great message to pass on to your kids.

I've learned some of the greatest life lessons from growing up in the skate and punk rock communities.

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

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

Make yourself look really stupid so you don't feel bad doing something a little stupid.

Mom's dad was in the army, stormed the beach at Normandy, fought through the French hedgerows, the Battle of the Ardennes, the Battle of the Bulge, and liberated concentration camps at the end of the war.

Once you declare your loyalty to a team, every person who doesn't support that team, it's their job to ruin you, to tell you you're an idiot and to tell you that you made the wrong choice.

Make yourself look really stupid so you dont feel bad doing something a little stupid.

The world over, give a guy money and it goes to drinking, gambling, and women. When you give a woman money, it goes to feeding, clothing, helping people.

This is going to sound strange, but I really didn't think I would pass 30. I don't know why or whatever, I just didn't. That's a very weird thing to say, I'm sorry. I don't know. Maybe it's because I was drinking so much as a youth.

The beard is here because I got tired of shaving and Grissom, subsequently, got tired of shaving. Grissom, like any other 50-year-old man, is going through a series of mid-life changes. Who knows, he may start drinking.

I prepared for the part by drinking, but I was sober when I was performing.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually live longer; it just seems longer.

Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it.

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.

Men even contract the dirty, filthy habit of chewing tobacco, and when the habit gets a good hold upon them they are never satisfied except when they have a wad of the stuff in their mouth. So with drinking. It is largely a habit.

I'm talking like 10, 12 years old. Either junior brings Mom and Pop or Mom and Pop bring the kids. I'm talking young here, not a college drinking crowd.

My parents would read those books to me as well but they used to make me starving when I was a kid because they were always eating ham sandwiches with the crusts off and drinking ginger beer.

By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.

I admit I was drinking a Guinness... but I did not swallow.

I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.

I had a breakthrough, I think my life just became calmer, I gave up drinking. My priorities changed as I had a young daughter. The group didn't want me to record for the Think Tank album... so I took it as a sign to leave.

I love milk so much! I make a point of drinking a glass of milk every day. So now anyone who did those milk ads with the milk mustaches, they're my heroes.

Nowhere in this country should we have laws that permit drinking and driving or drinking in vehicles that are on American highways. This is not rocket science. We know how to prevent this, and 36 states do.
