Well, weight you can always lose, but hair you can't get back.

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.

Lack of skill dictates economy of style.

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

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