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.

It's not necessarily getting older or the change that comes with it, I think it's more about the memories that you have. Where you can look at your life in these eras.

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

We never fit in completely to [the punk] scene because we were writing love songs that were heartfelt and endearing. Some of the punks didn't know what to make of us, but I finally realized that was what made us punk. We sang what we meant, from the heart, and didn't worry about what anyone was going to think.

Pretty and demented at the same time, like me.

I just open my mouth and out it comes.

My goal is to be one of the biggest bands in the world, and I have never been bashful about saying that.
