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.

Shut up, be happy. Obey all orders without question. The happiness you have demanded is now mandatory.
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
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
I'm tired of being ruled by the Skull and Bones. The only place they belong are on punk-rock albums!
Jello Biafra
I'm totally down with insurrection in the street. I've had a great time with that over the years. Insurrection in the voting booth is the other part of the equation.
Jello Biafra
It's very irresponsible as a parent to follow Tipper Gore or the Religious Right's advice and just take the offending CD or game away from the kid without discussing it.
Jello Biafra
If I go without rock for too long, I feel depressed.

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.

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.

Method acting has had a major influence both in writing through the eyes of other people, and seeing through the eyes of other people, trying to address different ideas in a way that would go beyond preaching to the choir.
Jello Biafra
We've never had a situation where mass media has been so censored, at least in my lifetime. When I was younger, networks like NBC, CBS, were independently owned, and took their jobs as journalists seriously. There used to be documentaries like The Selling of the Pentagon.
Jello Biafra
If voting could change anything, it would be illegal.
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
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
I got involved because I wanted to help inspire more people to get off their butts and register and vote - not just in this election, but in every other election from now on, you know?
Jello Biafra
For every prohibition you create, you also create an underground.

...balance the budget ? Tax religion.

Growing up in a family that listened to almost nothing but classical music had its effects, as well. California Über Alles, the first Dead Kennedys single, was inspired musically more by Japanese Kabuki than anything else.
Jello Biafra
Another part of what gave me a questioning, rabble-rousing, activist heart and soul is that when all these heavy events went down, my parents did not shelter the kids from it.
Jello Biafra
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.
