Ricky Nelson... I couldn't believe it when he died. He was a great rock star.

I got tired of the Ramones around the time I quit and I really got into rap. I thought it was the new punk rock. LL Cool J was my biggest idol.

I think the Internet shortens the distance between people, and that can often lead to inappropriateness.

Because I'm quiet, people think I'm really cold, or rude, or snobby. But I'm literally scared to talk to them.

When I got into rap I didn't exactly win any popularity contests. I called myself Dee Dee King, after B.B. King, to the total dismay of my fellow Ramones.

I like California a lot more than New York these days.

I haven't done rap... I can't do that too well.
