I didn't want the Ramones being told what to be doing, and I wanted the Ramones being presented in the right light - the remaining Ramones.

The only band that I can see that made changes over the years with success was The Beatles. They were able to change album to album and still be just as good or better. I didn't feel that we were able to do that. The Beatles were in a class by themselves.

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

I'm only going to be the way I'd want someone to react to me.

I never sweat, which you might notice in pictures.

The bigger the show, the better I'd play. It was what I was waiting for, and I'd never get nervous.

My favorite artists have always been Elvis and The Beatles and they still are!
