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

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.

My grandfather was Orthodox, and he was religious, but neither of my parents were. Of course, as they got older, it seems like they get more religious the older they get, even though they're still not practicing Jews.

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.

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

If someone wants to sticker a record for whatever reason, that's fine. But once it affects someone's opportunity to, you know, get that record, then I have a problem with it.
