By the time I was 19, punk had occurred. It had a completely different cultural dynamic to it which rejected everything and started again from the year zero.

Even with politics, stuff comes around again. Woody Guthrie would recognize America today.

If you've got a blacklist, I want to be on it.

Were it not for the Clash, punk would have been just a sneer, a safety pin and a pair of bondage trousers.

Peace, bread, work, and freedom is the best we can achieve.

Certainly, the international image of the United States today is a lot less positive than 10 years ago. And that really shouldn't be, because you have been the victims of this awful terrorist attack, and I think America deserves the sympathy of the world.

[A]s long as you're comfortable it feels like freedom.
