To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying 'This is who I am'.

Rock n' roll is very special to me. It's my lifeblood.

I've done a lot of living and a lot of adventuring and I think that's very healthy, ya know. And I think everybody should adventure life 'cos that's what life is, it's for adventuring. You gotta know what you wanna do with your life. And you gotta know when you have something special and you don't wanna blow it.

I enjoyed my life when I had nothing... and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.

To me, John Lennon and Elvis Presley were punks, because they made music that evoked those emotions in people.

We decided to start our own group because we were bored with everything we heard... Everything was 10th-generation Led Zeppelin... Overproduced, or just junk. We missed music like it used to be.

The Ramones own the fountain of youth. Experiencing us is like having the fountain of youth.
