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.

The Misfits pretty much funds the Misfits. It used to cost me money to be in the band. I think we got paid the last gig we ever did. After that, we had to work to support our families.

We got dragged through a system and got burned by crooked lawyers, and the list goes on and on.

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.

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

The packaging has to really sell the product today, because kids can go out and buy a CD and then 10 kids can burn them. So you have to really be on your toes.

The new album is a childhood dream come true. Got to sing with Ronnie Spector, got to cover a bunch of songs that were influential in drawing a line between the punk form and original rock and roll.
