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

For some young people, their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on 'Madden'.

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

We stayed very close to each other [with Leek Kirk], and Lee was amazing. We'd go through the script together, rehearsing it before every shot with the other actors. He was just easy to work with. We were able to put it in my language, which was really important.

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.

With my family, my sons both love music and play music, and they're really good at it.

There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.
