It's okay to grow up, it's just slowing down that's the scary part. Running out of time. It's okay to grow up, but it doesn't mean you have to become like your parents.
Our passion is our strength.
Punk rock isn't supposed to be for everyone. There is that sort of private club mentality, which is necessary. It keeps things from getting watered down and boring.
The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.
I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.

Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.

We're not a political band. We don't want to tell people what to do or what to think. We just want to tell them to think.
I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today.
I can't sleep very well at night. It takes me a while to get to sleep. I could just be nocturnal. I have my nighttime witching hour where I hang out, listen to records or watch TV.

I thought everybody was in on the joke. But I was the joke.
