It's not how many tickets can we sell, it's where do we want to play, not where should we play to make the most money. We don't really care about that.

If you really want something you just hang with it. We think our future's ahead and not behind.

There were some situations where I was giving up everything I had for the band and I just expected everybody else to feel the same way. I realized I was just kidding myself.

Look at all the Misfits products that came out. We never made a dime off it.

If we were to hit the level that Metallica or somebody like that hit, we'd have had a hard time dealing with it. I think it would have been our doom. It's hard for anybody at that level.

We were watching bands like the Ramones and Blondie and other bands beginning to ignite.

Sometimes you get an audience that's looking to just explode.
