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.

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

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.

For me, punk is about real feelings. It's not about, 'Yeah, I am a punk and I'm angry.' That's a lot of crap. It's about loving the things that really matter: passion, heart and soul.

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

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

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