Mark Hoppus Kids Quotations

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.

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.

I liked seventeen-year-old me, I was happy when I was seventeen. I was this troubled goth kid that wore eyeliner and make-up to school and listened to punk-rock music and I loved my friends and I started to make music - I like seventeen-year-old me.

Home for me is wherever my wife and kid are.

I feel like being in a band, you get license to be a kid forever.

I feel like anyone can be a kid forever as long as you have that mindset and attitude towards the world.

I live to play music, and hang out with my wife and kid, and hang out with my friends, and discover the world. Read books, watch movies, see art, see the world, meet new people.

I never thought of punk rock as the absolute act of rebellion for the sake of rebellion. There's a lot of that in there, but for me I think punk rock was always about questioning things and making decisions for yourself, which is a great message to pass on to your kids.
