Life to me is an adventure and you've got to experience everything.

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

The Eagles and the Captain and Tennille ruled the airwaves, and we were the answer to it.

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

I hate to blow the mystique, but at the time we really liked bubblegum music, and we really liked the Bay City Rollers. Their song 'Saturday Night' had a great chant in it, so we wanted a song with a chant in it: 'Hey! Ho! Let's Go!'. 'Blitzkrieg Bop' was our 'Saturday Night'.

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.

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