"Now that the man has a boner - your father, or the milkman - the man pushes his [BEEP] up and down inside the woman's [BEEP] so that the tickly parts rub together. It's like scratching an itch, but it feels a lot better. Why does the tickling stop? Well, your father came home." - Mike Dirnt

LMFAO, amazing; I knew the Billie one already but I didn't know the Tre and Mike ones. Epic.

"Billie is just a songwriting antenna. I don't know where he gets it, but he writes so many songs that are so good, it's like Bam! Bam! Bam! He writes all the songs and he comes to practice with a new song and it's just fucking great - it sounds great the first time we play it. It's not a skill - it's a gift and Billie Joe definitely has it" Tré

If you just sit there, you'll be chasing your tail for the rest of your life, and fuck that." -Billie

I love all their quotes, they're so true and good to draw upon. That's what seem to bypass people I think, behind their sillyness they're very intelligient people.

Aww, that Tré quote is so sweet!

"We're not a political band and we don't want to tell people what to do or what to think. We just want to tell them to think. If they're not happy they should get up and do something, even if it turns out that they did the wrong thing. At least they know they've tried and making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything." - Billie

ikr :3 again, eveyone just think Tre's always immature and clowns about, but he does have a serious side.

All those quotes are really cute and true too. I'm shocked that in the Billie quote there isn't one "y'know" It's adorable how much he says it.

"Punk is always something that's going to be with us and to try and explain that would be stupid at this point" Billie

Billie: “Asses!”
Tré: "Yeah, Asses! We can say asses!"

Billie: "Just about 99% of the population masturbates while the other 1%, lie about it."
