The engine room really is a metaphor for my head, and all the things bangin' around, and I think I share that with a lot of people. A lot of memories, and a lot of hopes, and a lot of just dealing with the day-to-day. Sometimes it gets all abstract.

Punk is not really a style of music. It was more like a state of mind.

I think punk rock, especially for me, was a big middle finger to this whole talent thing.

There was a thing during those times in the '80s where it was like Sex Pistols then Nirvana and nothing in between.

Life is definitely not a rehearsal, this is it.

I have a little name. That's why people can remember it.

I want to be a student for life.
