And then perhaps we'll find ourselves in another time, which is only another kind of dream.”

“Sometimes I think the only real division into two is between people who divide everything into two and those who don't.”

“My whole belief system is that our paths are drawn for us. I believe in reincarnation. I believe we're here to learn and grow. We choose how we come into this life based on what it is we have to learn. Some people have harder lessons than others.”

“Green Day is like sex. When we good we're really good! When we're bad… we're still pretty damn good!”
