Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.

I don't think I have grand visions that I will never achieve.

Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms.

The wage for most musicians is a modest amount, and that includes me some of the time.

I don't believe that crime, danger and poverty make for good art. That's bullshit.

I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.

Human beings have the incredible capacity for denial. I think they do. And although it's really hard to believe, I have my doubts. But my feeling is that first they have to convince themselves. First they have to justify this stuff to themselves and if they can do that, even for just the moment that it's coming out their mouth, then they can kind of mouth it with kind of believable sincerity, even if some of us.
