Punk will never be dead to me. It's my life. I can never just drop this lifestyle. It embodies me.

I definitely related a lot to Perry [from That's Ordinary World movie]. I liked how he put family first. I identified with the exhaustion and klutziness that comes with being a parent, and how he's just a rock-and-roller at heart.
