Music shouldn't be based around money or politics. Music should be a bunch of people that really do great songs together doing them together for the pursuit of having a good time.

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.

I discovered the Clash, the Pistols, obviously the Ramones, Blondie.

I would have hated to been locked into music for the last 20 years and not been able to have a family.

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.

My job is not babysitting people; my job is focusing on making the best band I possibly can.

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.
