And I’m always trying new things for that reason.

You can really get away with anything if you don’t really know what’s going to happen to you for it. “You know what’s fun about being young though, is you’re not aware of the ramifications of what you do.

It was like anti-drug, alcohol message or something,” said DeLonge. Tom DeLonge Supports Former Blink-182 Bandmate Mark Hoppus in Cancer Battle: 'He Is Strong'
