My dad was one of the reasons I got into rock and roll, because I was learning the ropes of his business, which was selling powertools, and I was looking for a way out from under his heel. I was like, 'Where's the fun? Where's the glamour?

Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body... show your personality as much as possible.

I love it when someone insults me. That means that I don't have to be nice anymore.

There was a time when my whole life was in chaos, really, and I didn't help myself sort it out. But one day I came to my senses, and I think I was lucky because a lot of people don't.

I don't care what stage or what reason, as long as we're playing.

We want flesh, flesh for fantasy.

Rock isn't art, it's the way ordinary people talk.
