Everybody can close their eyes, picture a dream house or a perfect place [where] they'd like to have a picnic. But actually creating it - how do you create something from nothing? Anyone who's creative understands that that's the magic, that's the alchemy.

I did 13-something years of talking to wrestlers and promoters about why they did certain things and why they booked matches a certain way and what they were thinking and whether they were satisfied with the draw. And I got a lot of insight in the business.

If you've sold over a million records, you are not punk rock, you are milking the system for everything that it's worth.

Well, we have brought certain things upon ourselves. I've certainly brought things upon us with my mouth.

I've been too productive for too long, and despite what anybody wants to strip away from me, I am influential. I am.
