The internet is a great thing but the worst thing that it brought to the music business was piracy and it's made making stuff available really difficult.

A guitar for me is pretty much strictly in the context of writing songs for my band, coming up with ideas with my band, and then being able to perform those songs as best as I can on stage - that's what the guitar for me has always been.

When you're younger - duh - you don't really have the tools to deal with certain things in your life.

To me, the guitar is a tool for songwriting, and it's fun, too. The day that it's not fun, that's when I'm not gonna play guitar anymore.

I don't even know who that person was in the '80s. I see pictures of myself from back then and I don't even recognize myself.

I will absolutely say that Johnny Ramone was a huge influence on me. I'm a giant Ramones fan.

I've always been a true believer that if men had babies, nobody would be trying to tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies.
