I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.

Rock n' roll is over, don't you get it? It lasted 25 years and now gets wiped out. The Sex Pistols were the bullet in the brain. They were the last rock and roll band.

Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.

There's nothing glorious in dying. Anyone can do it.

I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.

I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.

I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.
