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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
