I just have work to do; I just do it.

I've had people call me from bands that are very popular, and they're like, "What do we do? We want to do what you do." It's almost impossible to do what I do, because you would have to start in 1980. You can't just do it.

The American underground punk scene, though, is a story worth remembering.

I'm always happy when I hear about people selling records or selling books or selling movies. It makes me proud of them.

There's also a lot of skateboard stuff, because I was a skateboarder. Somewhere around here I have one of my original boards.

Archiving is extremely expensive and time consuming. I'm sure an archivist would tell me I'm doing it wrong. It's an industry that's built upon essential ideas, and some of those practices are abusive.

Columbia Heights was a poor, messed up area, and the church was in the middle of it. What happened inside was a reflection of the community. I actually saw my first rock concert on the altar of that church [St. Stephen's].
