When they told me they were gonna call the record American Idiot, I was the one who was saying, 'Oh no, you can't.' I was the one who was worried about it. Because when you think about it, we know the song now, but then it was a really f**king bold thing to do.

Commenting on his friendship with members of the musical band Green Day — quoted in Egerdahl, Kjersti (2009). Green Day: A Musical Biography. Greenwood. p. 113. ISBN 0313365970.John Roecker
It was probably easier for me to deal with this huge thing that was happening by having this little thing to do, which was keep the video camera going. Plus, my wife has a record, an absolute record, of something that happened to her that she was not experiencing. And I know it sounds daggy and what have you, but mate, it's a hell of a cool thing to watch. I'm not being self-defensive or whatever— I have absolutely no problem expressing myself. This thing of confusing Bud White or Maximus with who I am is ridiculous. Like it's such a big f**king deal that Russell Crowe might cry? Are you f**king kidding?
