[When asked in 1992 where they would be in 3 years] "I’m going to point a gun at Tre. Tre is going to point a gun at Mike. Mike is going to point a gun at me." (Mike: "We’re going to count to 3 and pull the trigger.")

[On Green Day slash fanfiction] "Tre reads the dirty ones. I've read a few. It's flattering and sort of weird at the same time. I don't really know what to think about young girls thinking about old men like that. But the ones I have read were very well-written and as long as kids these days are still being creative and writing, then I think it's cool."

"Stand up in the back row! This is not television, this is a fucking rock ’n’ roll show!"

[Regarding the 2005 VMAs] "I have to be prepared to be a gracious loser. I probably have more experience as the gracious loser than I do as the winner."

"Success isn't a destination, it's a journey."
