 I don't like LA. The majority just seem to be so artificial. Look at how they worship everything they think is fashionable. Isn't it sick? |
| If I look at my old lyrics, they seem to be full of rage, but empty. There was an emptiness in my life. |
| What is going on in America is extreme. The youth cult, they worship youth so much it's almost paranoid. And LA is the Mecca of it all; they're taking it to the hilt. |
| I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed. |
| If Britney would paint her ass green, I'm sure you could spot green asses all over LA as soon as the word was out. |
| Making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything. |
| A punk concert isn't fun without a pit. |
| The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids. |
| No one's really happy anyway, it's not human. |
| Music - that's been my education. There's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted. |
| There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap. |
| I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today. |
| Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality. |
| If you have children, you don't want to have drugs and drinks in the house. It's just not good. |
| I don't want to limit myself musically. It would be really limiting if we'd neglect something we really want to do, like explore other styles of music. |
| What annoys the hell out of me is the arrogance of some people. They don't even listen to our music, they decided in advance that they don't like it. |
| Our passion is our strength. |
| I think it's your own choice if you turn from an angry young man to a bitter, old bastard. |
| I approach playing acoustic guitar more of as a percussive instrument. It's fragile. I don't have a lot of finesse when it comes to my guitar playing. |
| Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle. |
