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.

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.

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

All the really pretty girls get pregnant.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

I dated the same girl all through high school.

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.

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.

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.
