Take 'Jack and Diane.' I was so disgusted with people thinking the line 'Hold on to sixteen as long as you can' meant to stay a teenager forever. What I meant was keep doing whatever makes you feel alive.

This is serious business, sex, violence, and rock and roll.

What we do to each other are the worst things that we do.

Hold on to 16 as long as you can.

To say that we're doomed is just an obvious remark.

With no bottom line, it's hard to know wrong from right. But I ain't ever satisfied.

Some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy, that I'm uneducated, that my opinion means nothing, but I know I'm a real good dancer.
