There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.
I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.
Heaven is on this earth. There are no angels on the clouds with twanging harps... That's just another man's fantasy.
Periods of inactivity, I don't know such things. I'm consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness.
When you grew up like me and my four brothers, you end up feeling somewhat inadequate, like somehow you don't count.
Just because people think politically different to you doesn't mean they're inhuman.
I'm 100% proud of the TV work I achieved. The work I did on shows on insects and Great White sharks... stuff that's in school curriculums in England. Now they are showing up on Discovery Channel.
Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us, the streets are full of people bumping into lamp posts, listening to their own little universe, and there's no sharing in that.
I had an Irish Catholic education. Horrible nuns, vindictive and cruel.
I love Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart because they're bringing irony back into American humor, which is a delicious treat. The entire Colbert persona of being extreme right-wing when he's not at all is highly amusing. He does it so well, but sometimes a little too well. My wife is convinced he's completely that way.
It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing.
I love being alive so much. When you come out of comas in your childhood, every moment awake is a joyous occasion.
I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.
I like America's diversity and its landscapes.
I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.
I never wore a studded leather jacket, y'know. Ne-va!
I have one major problem with the internet: It's full of liars. There doesn't seem to be any way to answer to people lying about you.
I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.
I have one major problem with the Internet: It's full of liars.
U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.
