"And me and Joel were thinking that we should change our band to be rap medal so we could be rich too. I'd buy 6 cars."

"You know, if one kid bought a record for every one kid that said I suck that'd be a lot of platinum records, man!"

"If I wasn't in the band, I'd be in jail!"

"We don't really consider ourselves a punk rock band. Punk rock is supposed to be anti-clique, but these days, even punk rock has gotten cliquey."

"I was in a boy band once myself."

"We feel really lucky right now, especially because we're so young. We feel like we can do anything, nothing can hold us back, and we've got a lot of energy."

"This is a sweet song, it's for the guys of MXPX. Cuz one night, I was having a real tough night, one of the guys from MXPX invited me on his bus. He helped me out a lot, yeah, he held me all night long."

"Have we ever murdered a boy band? YES! There was a band called P-Town, and we shot them!"

" I knew that all this would happen. From the day we started the band I knew--not in a cocky way, but it was just a feeling. A very comforting feeling. So it was exciting when it happened and it was, like, amazing, and it was really crazy, but it wasn't unexpected."

Interviewer: Would you ever consider turning in your instruments to learn choreography and become a boy band?

Benji: Umm... after you shot me in the head.

"This is the makeout song. Although you should ask the person first, 'cause I've had some troubles with that before." - Benji (during Seasons)
