"I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I prefer shredding."- Talking about the Green Album
"I don't dumb down, but my point in playing lead is not to show the extremes of my technique, it's to try to say something melodically. But if you put a gun to my head and said, "Shred!" I could blow some motherfuckers away. It would probably be shocking."
"I would think Weezer were a bunch of fags."- Referring to himself as a kid
I've never resorted to actual profanity. I'll fuck with them sometimes. I'll start to play one of those Pinkerton songs and they start to cheer and then I'll bust into one of my gay pop songs."- Talking about Pinkerton chanters
"I'm trying to pick up girls, basically (laughs nervously)- Talking about going to message boards

"I have no idea!"- When asked about the lyrics to 'Dope Nose' and 'Keep Fishin'
