I Think Age Is Just A Stupid

I Think People Take Blink-128 More Seriously Now Than They Did Before. And It's Largely Our Fault Because We Called Our Records Enema Of The State And Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. We Were Always Kind Of The Underdogs, Especially Critically. People Wrote Us Off As This Joke Band. But The People Who Listened To Blink Knew That We Were Silly And Whatever, But We Wrote Songs About Divorce And Suicide And Depression. Those Kids That Were Listening To Blink Are Now The Ones That Control All These Outlets That Used To Just Write Us Off.

It Really Expresses A Man In Pain.

I Firmly Believe Artists Should Be Paid For What They Create.

We Never Really Set Out To Talk About California On The Album ['california'], It Was Something That We Noticed That Was Happening About Three-quarters Of The Way Through The Recording Process. We Were Looking At Which Songs We Thought Would Make The Record And We Realised That There Was This Theme Coming Through. I Think It's Just A Product Of Being In California For As Long As I Have.

As A Producer, I'm An Objective Observer, Helping A Band Form Their Ideas Into A Cohesive Album. It's A Step Back From The Intimacy Of Creation.
