I think it's my nature to engage in things that are more difficult.

It's just hard to have a nuanced discussion with like a thousand people, 30 of which are white-power skinheads.

What does bother me is that I have to spend time and energy dealing with the ramifications of what people do think about me.

Let's say for instance people say, "He's a really totalitarian, strict guy, he's hard to work with or whatever." I don't think it's true, but people's perception of me leads that direction, like I'm a fundamentalist person. I end up having to spend extra time saying, "I'm not a fundamentalist." I have other stuff to do.

I don't need any more avenues of communication, and frankly I think people are still working out to realize that it's just a tool[social media] rather than something that you have to do or participate in.

If people want new music then they are going to have to figure out a way to be patrons of the arts. And they will.

Minor Threat was an important band, believe me that it was important it in my life, but it belongs to an era that no longer exists. I'm not nostalgic. I think music today is much more important, because something can be done about it.
