If there was a simple ethic for the band, it was that we want to be able to do whatever we want to do.

I mean my point as an artist is I'm on my own little weird journey across the sky here and whether or not anybody's listening, or listening to the degree I would like them to, at the end of the day has to be an inconsequential thing because I can't chase this culture.

If you've sold over a million records, you are not punk rock, you are milking the system for everything that it's worth.

Destruction is a true sign of devotion. As I always tell my girlfriend when she threatens to kill me. 'You should kill me and it would tell me that you love me.

I don't have any sentimental notion about how people are going to remember me.

There are people out there who are older who are cool. I want that.

You have to keep adapting to the times. If you kind of go with it, it can kind of fun.
