My feelings for you shame me into silence.

I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.

You could split hairs and bring up words like 'doo-wop' and terms like 'soul' or 'R&B', but I think pop music is what you want it to be - that's why it's pop.

Thank you for touching me. Some of the only moments worth living were spent with you. Not you especially, the collective you.

I don't have a crystal ball, but I'm willing to bet one of my arms right now that as long as there's electricity, Ramones music is going to be relevant.

Most of the people who call me a sellout were 7 when I was down face-first in the punk trenches.

To me, the real 'state of the union' is found in how Americans react to current events.
