I don't want to live in an ivory tower, being the songwriter who just turns inward.

I think everybody should get married. Boys and girls. Girls and boys. Boys and boys! Girls and girls! Shouldn't we all be entitled to a family-Civil rights baby it's civil rights. It doesn't get any better here in Berkeley I'll tell you that.

I don't like LA. The majority just seem to be so artificial. Look at how they worship everything they think is fashionable. Isn't it sick?

Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality.

You don't mow another man's lawn!
