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

Danny and I wrote 10 songs in seven days, which I thought might be close to the record until you probably look at some of the Beatles statistics.

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

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 have a problem now with parents stealing their kids' CDs, so the roles have been reversed.

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

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.
