“[Keanu was just one of the guys, according to Mills, staying in a crappy condo in suburban Oregon like everyone else during the shoot.] He never said in any way, 'I'm special' or 'I'm different,' ... Working with Keanu is a lot like working with one of my electricians or a grip. It's just someone who wants to come to work. The worst thing you can do is pay too much attention to him.”
Mike Mills
“I lived [in Irvine], but I never felt totally accepted as one of these rich white suburban kids. I wasn't economically deprived like so many of my Chicano brothers and sisters, but I felt the tension and the rejection--and that's when I started getting into hip-hop, started break-dancing. `The Message,' `Rapper's Delight,' Run-DMC...that was what was happening around that time.”

“It's definitely one of the biggest trends in the industry. What we are seeing is an adaptation of the suburban country club turning into an urban country club.”

“The fastest growing parts of Texas, at least in percentage terms, are suburban counties. Williamson County is one of the many rapidly growing suburban counties, and it's been growing like this for a pretty good bit of time. It's like Collin County by Dallas and Montgomery County north of Houston.”
Steve Murdock
“[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.”
Green Day
“A suburban mall turned vertical.”
