The whole point of making a record was just to be maximum Green Day, just to sort of create our own culture, our own lifestyle. And when that starts to leak over into the mainstream, for me it's really exciting, because you honestly feel like you're contributing something.

It's more verbatim to the storyline of the record, but within it, it shows more of what we [Green Day] would see or think about than just a fantasy video,

You gotta stick your neck out and put out a record that isn't safe... that's the Green Day way!

We were up to the challenge. We're probably the best Green Day-type band there is out there.
