"Well, you know, I look at myself in the morning and yes, yeah I-I am a God."

(At Mark Hoppus of blink-182): "Stop throwing shit or I'll jump in there and beat your ass."
(Speaking of blink-182): "Seriously, at first I was happy for them, but now I find it a little irritating. I think they trivialise what we do, and punk rock in general. It's like throwing shit in the face of something or someone that had substance at one point. Didn't one of the members marry someone from MTV? I mean, what the fuck? But if any band should be pissed off at them then isn't NOFX."
"Then all of a sudden we got introduced to punk music and it was the coolest fuckin' thing"
"I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons."

You know, maybe I'm just being ignorant and shortsighted, you know, it's true I'm not running the government, I'm not running the United States. I just don't think that killing people is a good way to remedy people dying. Martin Luther King Jr., said that you can murder a murderer but you can never murder murder itself."

"Me fail English? Thats Unpossible!" - Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons
