I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.

I don't have an album cover with me on a broomstick.

[While the album, a social commentary about suburban malaise and global misguidance, comes with a parental advisory sticker, Green Day's concerts don't come with a warning about all the F-bombs Armstrong drops between songs. As the father of boys, ages 6 and 10 (who have seen the show, he says), he says that he's well aware of his language and that he uses certain words to make a point.] I don't consider it vulgarity. I think of it more as reality, ... It's up to the parents to be the judge of that.

There are a lot less restraints on it than there used to be. It comes with a parental warning in the US before each segment. For mature audiences only.

On my record cover, you can barely see my face. I still think I look really geeky.

I don't know any artists that are really emotionally well adjusted. In fact, I think we're all pretty much insane.
