Quote

Because we take these huge long breaks, and then I just kind go, Okay, fine, this is the way that I've chosen to live my life, and if the band now fades into obscurity, so be it, that's my decision. But then we come back and it's still as big as ever, or bigger. It's always been a surprise to me, that it worked out that way.

I want to be stereotyped. I want to be classified.

One thing that really attracted me to punk was the DIY aspect. And the fact that, since I was a nerd, I was like 'you mean nerds can belong to this little society? So all of these things went into my attraction to it.

I would point to a song like 'I'm Not A Loser', which I tried to evolve as best I could over the years. But finally after years of trying to evolve it into something a little more, up to date I guess, we just don't play it anymore.

The two things that matter are the desire, and being healthy enough to do it. Everything else to me is a non-issue.

We like to be punks. We like to still be kind of edgy and if being edgy means you might teeter on that line of being inappropriate, I'm still willing to teeter on that line, even at my age. But some of them go over that line and you've gotta draw that line somewhere.

I tend to be the one that breaks the mold most often, and thus, I tend to be the one with a lot of outtakes, songs that don't make the record.

I've never written a song about DNA or anything that I work on. But I just think that DIY aspect, and the creativity and the belonging and acceptance is what drew me in.

As long as bands are still out there slaving away in the garage and putting out their own records and just pushing the envelope for how songs should be written or how they should be played, punk will never die.

Punk's really cool because it's very inclusive of all types, which I like. And I would submit that even though people talk about punk as being thuggish, I think it can be more creative than other types of music.

I still think punk's around. It's been pushed into the mainstream and it gets harder to draw that line between what's pop and what's punk.

We want to mentally be young, even if physically we're not.

The most visceral expression of emotion in music.

I want to be stereotyped. I want to be classified. I want to be a clone. I want to be masochistic. I want to be sadistic. I want a Suburban Home. I don't want no hipppie pad I want a house just like Mom and Dad.
