Pain I keep to myself; my music is for entertainment purposes and I always have that in mind.

I mean, you could have said Elvis Presley was new wave when it happened. I heard Willy DeVille and Tom Petty and to me they were new wave really because they were new.

I love Willy DeVille. He's very missed.

Led Zeppelin, they still rule the airwaves. I hear Zeppelin every day, and they've been around since '69. So the people who grew up with that still listen to that, and now their children listen to it.

Classic Rock radio gave us our longevity.

I saw the movie Sid & Nancy. It was a pretty good movie. It didn't really make me a punk rock fan. But anything that's new, as long as it's good I enjoy it.

My parents taught me what life is about, so I grew up the type they warned me about.
