Moshing and broken glass just don't go together.
And you don't want to always write about politics just for the sake of writing about politics.
I don't care what you do, I just don't want to be a mud hippie like you. [From 1994 woodstock]
I heard Davey Havok has a brand of eyeliner out now... its AFI-liner
A punk concert isn't fun without a pit.
We've been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.
To me, it doesn't feel like it's just another rock record that somebody put out. It feels like we taped into the culture a little bit
My job description is that I'm a rock star. And I'm good at it.
I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football.
You can't live on planet rock star 24/7; you have to be down and dirty and have some fun.
History will tell if we were really a good band or just a one day fly.
For some young people, their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on 'Madden'.
I'm a songwriter-I'm obligated to keep pushing myself.
I think the little bush is a bit stupid and more or less the puppet of his old man.
I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.
Woodstock was about the closest thing to anarchy I've ever seen in my whole life, and I didn't like it.
It's not only exciting to watch, but you can also speak a different language with each other. It's a music language that's unique, compared to what other parents do, especially in their professional lives. Not everybody can talk about being an accountant.
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.
I played St. Jimmy on Broadway I sort of caught the acting bug. But I didn't want to go full-bore into it because I have a lot to learn.
When we were making the record, I just decided, at the last second. I thought, "This song ["Ordinary World"] makes a lot of sense, being on the album [Revolution Radio]."
The fact that I was taking naps in churches, in between takes of the [Ordinary World], and there was that guerilla style of filmmaking, I felt more at home with that.
I loved the independent spirit of the whole experience, instead of doing a big Hollywood picture, or something like that where I would have felt more out of place.
We do have American Idiot picked up by HBO and I wrote the record and concept to it. [We have] the writer Rolin Jones and [director] Michael Mayer [who also directed the Broadway production], so we'll see what happens.
I think that's the big difference between this one [Ordinary World] and a lot of the other rock 'n' roll movies. They're playing to tape, but Fred Armisen and I were actually in a rock 'n' roll bad together. I also really related to the character, especially when it came to the parenting part. I'm a pretty klutzy parent.
I know I'm always going to be a musician, for the rest of my life. That's for sure. It's about how you balance between being a musician and being a parent, and making it intertwined.
