Personal Quotes

We've done the same things that we were doing in the begining, and we never wanted our band to stay small. I mean, we want our band to be as big as it can, and I'm not going to die wondering about some kid that calls us a sell-out at a show. I don't have a problem being on MTV, and I don't have a problem being on the radio. I actually like it. So there. And anyone that calls me a sell out is just jealous.

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.

We're not stars.... we're all just dorks in a band.

We reserve the right to make fun of every single person on planet Earth.

See it has nothing to do with how hard you work, all life has to do with is which ass you kiss.

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