“From a very early age, my wife and I told our son that there are times...” — Mark Hoppus Quote

From a very early age, my wife and I told our son that there are times and places for everything. I told him, look, when you're in class, you have to be quiet and listen to your teacher, but when you go out to the playground, you can scream and be silly.

We just kind of did our own thing and got made fun of by the popular kids. It was kind of like a badge of honor to be an outcast.

Getting to meet other artists that I admire is one of the best parts of my job. I don't know if I'd say 'star struck' as much as excited to hear other peoples' ideas.

All the really pretty girls get pregnant.

I grew up the biggest fan of the Cure. Knew every lyric, had every album, B-side, single, poster, everything. Then cut to fifteen years later, and we're working on songs together. Ridiculous.

I've got a friend who is a lion tamer. He used to be a school teacher till he lost his nerve.

I'm embarrassed every time I look a teacher in the eye, because we ask them to do so much for so little.

I loved teaching and I did a lot of work as a teacher's assistant in college, and my favorite experience was basically getting a laugh from a bunch of people because they had just understood something.

If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.

At the end of the day, I want to be a teacher at a university, teaching film or acting.
