Punk rock isn't something you grow out of Punk rock is an attitude, and the essence of that attitude is 'give us some truth'

What's holding me up is I'm confused about the nature of the music. Because the modern music doesn't reach me. I mean to say the sound of the modern electric production. A lot of sequencers... synths. That's what people are buying. Because that doesn't reach me, it throws me back to like 1948, but I don't want to be there. Back there, I'm talking about blues records... The roots of rock'n'roll is rhythm and blues and that's like really where I'm at, where I was always at.

I hate it when I go out and I see parents going, 'don't do that', or 'stop doing that' when some kid's just hanging off a staircase or something. There's too much of this, 'don't do that'. The whole thing baffles me.

All hippies around now just represent complete apathy.

I don't want to look back. I want to keep going forward, I still have something to say to people.

For me the music is a vehicle for my lyrics. It's a chance to get some really good words across.

everybody has a story to tell
