I worry about financial security, and the older I get the more I worry about it.

I think politics and personal psychology and interrelationships - these things are interrelated to me and overlap.

I'm a terrible drummer. I can tune 'em pretty good, but I'm a pretty bad drummer.

Another cultural thing that's really creepy. It's not like in the '60s, where there were definitely great high points of creativity where people were trying to outdo each other to be noticed even.

I think I've always been extremely conscious of the kind of empowerment that comes from realizing that you're in a position to express yourself. And the fact is that - and this is the thing about punk rock - that everyone is in a position to create culture, and that point has never been lost on me. To me, that's an important political aspect of doing this, and trying to live in a way that's about dialogue as opposed to like... spectacle.

You just realize that you have to be committed to this thing in this kind of world that we're in the more your support group dwindles and you start seeing your peers buying houses and getting corporate jobs. So that can be discouraging.

Who's got the most heartbreaking voice? I don't know. Tough question.
