I like the guitar better these days. I like the bass, too, but it's hard to fit a bass amp in a small car.

Visuals are as artistic as sounds, so being serious about both isn't a contradiction to me.

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

The main issue was deciding what to play: Should it be old Ramones material or new material? I had about three albums worth of new material, but I knew that people would rather hear the Ramones songs.

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'd like to thank myself, and congratulate myself, and give myself a big pat on the back.

I'm really lucky I'm still around. Everybody expected me to die next... But it was always someone else instead of me.
