A lot of the best acting training I had was in junior high and high school. We had very demanding directors and did real plays. You put our plays up against any theater troupe of any age, and they usually did pretty damn well.

More quotes by Jello Biafra
Punk was originally about creating new, important, energetic music that would hopefully threaten the status quo and the stupidity of the 1970s.
Jello Biafra
I went to Seattle as just another geek in the food chain, thinking, Well, in my own puny little way, I'd rather be a part of history than just sit and watch it on TV. So, the fact that so many people are starting to ask the right questions and rack their brains for solutions does give me hope.
Jello Biafra
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve.
Jello Biafra
Hardly anybody in America pays attention to local elections.
Jello Biafra
I have very mixed feelings about Jesse Jackson. He's very good about labor, and human and civil rights issues, but not so good on cultural issues.
Jello Biafra
I don't think it's too hippie to want to clean up the planet so you don't wind up dying of some kind of cancer when you're 45 years old. It enrages me that these big cancer-research organizations can't be bothered to man the front lines of environmental protest.
Jello Biafra
Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath
Jello Biafra
I think that what's perceived as punk out in shopping malls or in chain stores or on MTV has almost nothing to do with what punk is about.
Jello Biafra
What I'm getting at is, you know, if we really want to get serious about helping all the people living in the street and getting people jobs, we could just hire half the people in the country to spy on the other half.
Jello Biafra
If you love god, burn a church.
Jello Biafra
There's sort of an open offer to work with a guy in Los Angeles who does big band and orchestra arrangements who was at least an acquaintance to Les Baxter before he passed away.
Jello Biafra
I've never been a big fan of subtle art. I like art that gets deep into my head and starts my brain spinning with new ideas and inspiration and my whole body is full of energy.
Jello Biafra
If voting could change anything, it would be illegal.
Jello Biafra
When Search and Destroy by the Stooges came on as a Nike shoe commercial, I got physically sick. That song meant the world to me, and I didn't feel this was the way it ought to be used.
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 would hate to have Holiday in Cambodia become as tiresome to other people as hearing Like a Rock in a Chevrolet commercial.
Jello Biafra
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.
Jello Biafra
You've got to have an ego as big as Mars to want to think that you, of all people, are better than anyone else to be president of the United States. People that vain, they want their place in history, and they want to be able to control how much they'll be worshipped by future generations.
Jello Biafra
Well, I don't think I'll ever stop being frustrated or feel fulfilled artistically.
Jello Biafra
For every prohibition you create, you also create an underground.
