They really take care of me. Brittany Campbell gave me a card the other day with Care Bear Band Aids. It was so cute. They all want the best for me and I want to win for them.

As a freshman I couldn't even believe we made it to states. Now, it's expected of us. I just think we have so much experience that we know how to deal with big games.

It's a lot happening at once and there's a lot of pressure. It's so amazing that we made it back to state and to go out with a championship would be perfect, but everyone's been talking about graduation for a month and I'm really excited about that too. I didn't want to have to pick one over the other.

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!
