Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.

You can't change the wind but you can set your sails.

I have no idea where my career is going. I just make the best music that I possibly can.

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.

When you start getting into your politics it's like you have to be vulnerable and you have to be sort of sensitive. Because if it's always like straight aggression all the time, there becomes no empathy for the stance that you're taking. You're not telling people to think, you're telling them what to think. And also you have to be honest with yourself on that, too.

A punk concert isn't fun without a pit.

This never gets old, and when it does, I'll go do a movie. I like the fact that I can get into other projects because everything feels fresh when I come back to music.
