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

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

People think of Jews as the Woody Allen stereotype, the nebbishy kind of thing, but that's not the kind of Jews I know. I know plenty of Israelis and plenty of tough guys that are Jewish. So, I think it makes sense that Jews play metal.

To be honest, I'm one of the least-technical guitar players around. I just want a guitar to feel good and sound good. That's it, period.

At some point around '94 or '95, 'Rolling Stone' said that guitar rock was dead and that the Chemical Brothers were the future. I think that was the last issue of 'Rolling Stone' I ever bought.

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 think the best riffs and the best songs come when you're jamming and having a good time.
