I get starstruck really easily. I love music so much - it sounds so silly to say that - so if I'm playing a festival and somebody I love, like [Primal Scream's] Bobby Gillespie, is there in the backstage area, I'm like, "Wow this is amazing! There they are!"

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 used to be a hairdresser.

I couldn't do rap. I was trying. I don't know how. I'm not good enough to know.

Metallica - they're so demonic, they're crazy, I don't know how they do it.

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.
