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

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

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

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'.

When I was a kid growing up in the '60s, music was an outlet for enlightenment, frustration, rebellion. It was more about individualism. Today it's just like a big business.

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

I mean, like, rock n' roll was always about spirit and fun.
