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

Metal guys are huge nerds. A good percentage of them are either horror or sci-fi or comic book or fantasy nerds.

Anthrax, it's something that gets you sick, it's horrible, strong. It's a heavy-metal band name if there ever was one.

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

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.

I'm not the kind of guy who sits around at home and writes songs. Once in a while I'll pick up a guitar and noodle around, but it's rare.

I have enough to think about - I just don't ever want to have to think about my car.
