You have to search the absolute demons of your soul to make a great record.

I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.

Set lists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next, but at the same time, you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the set list at the drop of a hat.

If I look at my old lyrics, they seem to be full of rage, but empty. There was an emptiness in my life.

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 not going to conform to some consumer need.

Making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything.
