“It’s not necessarily getting older or the change that comes with it, I think it’s more about the memories that you have. Where you can look at your life in these eras.”

I think the working-class part of me comes out. Sometimes the people who have the loudest mouths are upper-class, upper-middle-class.

I think that the character actually really loves where he’s at, in his life. He’s just trying to have it make a little bit more sense while he figures out what he actually wants to do with it.

I just plug in and let go.

I have no idea where my career is going. I just make the best music that I possibly can.

Every night I play as if my life depends on it.

I thought everybody was in on the joke. But I was the joke.

I hate celebrities. I really hate them.

We’d go through the script together, rehearsing it before every shot with the other actors. He was just easy to work with. We were able to put it in my language, which was really important.

They have bad taste. I am not a good-looking guy.

Punk is always something that’s going to be with us and to try and explain that would be stupid at this point.

With the video for Boulevard of Broken Dreams we were going for something a bit like Ladykillers, you know? Pretty and demented at the same time…like me!

Some times I need to apologize, sometimes I need to admit that I ain’t right, sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut, or only say hello, sometimes I still feel I’m walking alone.

That was the hard part of having kids: trying to be on their schedule, then fighting to get to sleep while they are sleeping.

I’m always a work in progress.

When I was done with the movie [Ordinary World], I felt really compelled to start working on another album. Little did I know, they were going to come out back to back.

Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.

It wasn’t until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.

When I look in the mirror, I see a gentleman getting a little older and a little wiser.

The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realized what a true friend really is. So my friendship circle has changed a bit.

When I was young, I would sit in the bath and ideas would come to me. But I’m not young any more, so now I just sit in the bath.

How do I think of you? As someone I want to be with. As someone as young as me, but “older,” if that makes sense. As someone I like to look at, not just because you’re good to look at, but because just looking at you makes me smile and feel happier.

Because I grew up in the 60s girls were not allowed to do anything. As I’ve gotten older and realized that women can do things like that I thought, ‘Why not? Now’s the time.’

My sister is 4 years older than me and I’ve always looked up to her, she was the girl I always wanted to be.

Every fight I mature. I’m getting older.
