Record labels have enjoyed a 100-year monopoly of selling plastic and now they're up against a different format.

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

We're on tour for six months out of the year.

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.

I've done thousands of interviews in my life, and it's a format that I quite enjoy, because I think of questions in interviews as an opportunity to sort of gauge my growth in a way. It gives me an idea of how I'm navigating this world that I'm in.

We had punks literally protesting Fugazi. I respect a boycott. I respect a conscionable boycott, but of all bands to boycott? Fight crime. If you really want to get out there, go fight crime.

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.
