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

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.

Play before you get good, because by the time you get good, you're too old to play

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

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'.

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