I had a good career. I've been very fortunate.

I never felt out of control. It was just the way I lived my life. I was the neighborhood bully.

I don't need much more money, and I thought that when I retired that nobody would want to talk to me anymore. Then I did, and people still want to talk to me.

Some bands blow it before they even play. The most important moment of any show is when a band walks out with the red amp lights glowing, the flashlight that shows each performer the way to his spot on the stage. It's crucial not to blow it. It sets the tempo of the show; it affects everyone's perception of the band.

Pure, white rock 'n' roll, with no blues influence.

I was the one who was always scowling, downcast. I tried to make sure I looked like that when I was getting my picture taken.

My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
