I don't want to limit myself musically. It would be really limiting if we'd neglect something we really want to do, like explore other styles of music.

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.

Punk is always something that's going to be with us and to try and explain that would be stupid at this point.

Coffee is the absolute most dependably ordinary thing I could have every single day.

I was on drugs when I wrote some of my songs. It was a rough time for me, but I'm lucky enough to be one of the people who learned from that experience and moved on, where other people just got addicted and more addicted and more addicted until it killed them.

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

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