    • Tom: We're immature guys playing pranks on people, having fun
    • Tom: I was kicked out of middle school a few times. This guy who was kind of a dick and a bully got hit by a car. I jumped up and went, YEAH!' Apparently that wasn't cool with some people 'cause I got kicked out
    • Explaining blink-182 creative process.. Tom: We just write down a bunch of words, and pray to god they make sense. And if we don't, it doesn't matter, we're artists.
    • In an interview... Reporter: What is "Dammit" about? What is that film clip about? Tom: It's about the political unrest in south east Asia...
    • To a fan, at a concert in San Diego Tom: Why do you keep throwing clothes at me? Obviously you don't like what I'm wearing
    • Tom: I'm sick of been known as the sexy guy who writes the songs.
    • About boybands Tom: I don't get boy bands these days. They don't write their own songs and everything is choreographed from their dance moves to how they have sex with each other after the show.
    • About being rejected by the punk community Tom: You mean the **** people claim 'You're not punk anymore!' I think they're a bunch of little hypocrites. Punk has nothing to do with the label you're on. We still get that kind of ****, but for every hypocritical punk kid, there are hundreds out there who just like the music. It's all about music and fun anyway and I can't see anything wrong with that. All the selling out talk is really overrated, the funny thing is it hardly ever comes from bands, it comes from some kid who think they're so punk because they have a purple mohawk. And it's the one that has the biggest... ehhh ... mohawk is the most punk! Ha ha!
    • Explaining Travis tattoos Tom: Well, uh, that one back there says hope, I hope I can get laid by a guy. The one on the front says Can I Say I'm gay, basically, can I say I'm gay. Like, if you look on his ghettoblaster that ghettoblaster is always playing homosexual music like Morrisey, Erasure. Uh... the bird on his right arm that you see there symbols ... a man... swooshing through the sky coming down and... sleeping with him.
    • Tom: It's so obvious that I have the most masculine attributes. If femininity were a sport, the other two guys would have a gold medal. All I hear is, "When can I wear a dress? Can I paint my house pink?" That kind of stuff. By far, I'm the only one that resembles something like a Conan-type character. You can call me Conan.
    • Talking to a fan that showed more than expected.. Tom: Hey.. How old are you? 15? OH MY GOD!!! Put those things away.
    • Answering the people that called blink-182 sellouts Tom:: And as for signing to a bigger label... Well I'd like to make a lot of money and f*** credibility. If I did it doesn't make me any different. Just richer.
    • Tom: I don't know why I am in this band, I am the only guy that likes girls. I am the only one that believes that guys and girls should be together and that babies should be made the pen*s vag*na way. The old way. These guys are trying to create some weird wacky, maybe the pen*s in the butt will get a kid, I don't know. I don't think that works. Mark: What? Tom: No, don't come here and try to act like your heterosexual!
    • When asked why are blink lyrics immature at times Tom: Our take on punk is really just fun: it's fun to offend people and do what we want to. But it isn't that offensive. We make music for ourselves and everybody else who gets it. It's a lifestyle scene. If you don't get it you don't have to listen.
    • Tom: I came up with a little formula, if you write songs about girls you get girls at show. We write a lot of songs about girls.
    • About blink-182 Tom: Some people think we're idiots and perverts, which we are.
    • Tom: For me, sex with a girl is a race to orgasm, and I am undefeated.
    • Introducing Mutt in a concert in '97 Tom: This song is called 'Babe, babe, I need my nuts back'
    • Tom: Most people think we're just like this onstage, but we talk about poop all the time.
    • About the writing of All the Small Things Tom: I was all, 'I need a word that goes "duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh,"' and then Mark goes, 'commiserating!' I called people to make sure it meant what we thought it did.
    • During a blink-182 in-store signing Tom: Can I please sign your cd? I'll feel pretty worthless if I don't.
    • About his job in a restaurant Tom:I hated, hated, hated my job. You know those people who hate there job? That was me
    • Tom: I applaud anyone who thinks I'm good-looking and invite them into my world
