They wouldn't play my records on American radio because I had spiky hair. They said, 'Punk rock doesn't sell advertising, it won't make any money.'

I don't think punk ever really dies, because punk rock attitude can never die.

Play before you get good, because by the time you get good, you're too old to play.

Propriety is the new punk.

I've always been spiritual but I've never had a proper context, and it took me a while to find the proper context. It's hard to realize you can have any kind of relationship with God you want... and so I now have a punk rock relationship with God

Punk is not just the sound, the music, punk is a lifestyle.
