Mike: Maturity is a really weird word because when you're young and you hear you've matured, it's kind of cool. Then you hit 15 through 21, and you're like, "No, I haven't." It's not cool, and then you get older. I guess everyone just grows, and it's all a matter of perspective. I think I choose my battles as to when to act stupid and when to act responsible now.
Mike: We got these fliers that said, TELL GREEN DAY TO **** OFF FOR BRINGING MTV INTO OUR SCENE. I've never seen one TV in the punk clubs we've played. I think your mother and father need to take your cable away, is what they need to do.
