If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve.
Jello Biafra
All of these reissues were not authorized by me, I do not endorse them, the live album was put out without my permission, and I've not seen a dime at this point, either.

You have to be down here in the States to realize just how tightly controlled the corporate media is and how much they practise Soviet-style censorship through creative omission.

Looking back, I didn't realize until years later what a huge influence Red Skelton was in my stage demeanor with the band. I mean, I always liked things that were funny, and later I realized that having a sly sense of humor was a way to get attention and even respect in school.

We need a new law that owners of SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) are automatically in the military reserve. Then they can go get their own goddamn oil.
Jello Biafra
If I go without rock for too long, I feel depressed.

Jello Biafra
Well, once you get involved with bloodsport litigation, you can not only get drunk on your own greed but start to believe your own lies.
Jello Biafra
I don't know whether I see it as slipping inside the villains, but part of what makes Ralph Nader and Michael Moore such effective speakers and communicators is that they know how corporate culture works, how our lawmaking bodies really work, and where the bones are buried.
Jello Biafra
Well, I don't think I'll ever stop being frustrated or feel fulfilled artistically.
Jello Biafra
I went through a big Alice Cooper phase, which was probably a major influence on my writing style later, especially after Plastic Surgery Disasters.
Jello Biafra
Our biggest national security threat is the environmental destruction of our planet and the arms race with ourselves.
Jello Biafra
For every prohibition you create, you also create an underground.

In many ways, I have no idea what would have become of me if punk hadn't happened, because the '70s turned out to be so stale, and so boring, and so backward compared to what had come just before. We were too young to have fully experienced the '60s and the fervor of the anti-war movement.
