I wanted to play the Apollo Theater because I didn't think I was going to be on the earth long.

I can't hang out as loose as I used to, but I can still go down Jefferson Avenue and look in the faces of winos, pimps and junkies, all the things I'm made of.

I went to India, lived, and studied.

My music is pretty honest. I can't rap on science fiction. Punk is from the street.

You can't outdo 'Street Songs' and I didn’t even try. [It] had that special magic that comes with timing and good vibrations and you can't even try to capture that exactly again.

I feel that I have to say something in a song and that it's not just enough to lay down the music.

I just live one day at a time.
