Anything that has to do with rock seems to be on the decline. There's not a lot of rock stations or MTV anymore, you just go on Youtube.

I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.

A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing.

My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.

Express yourself, put stuff down on tape, and see what lives.

Ye cannot know eternal reality by a definition.

I try to find hope in struggle and resistance in small places as much as I can.

I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.

Forget Jack, I'm in love with the cold, dirt floor.

Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.

Mitt Romney and his family have a big two-day weekend plan. They're going to hike to the top of his money.

No rich man can walk through the eye of a needle.

We felt like the Taliban saw us as little dolls to control, telling us what to do and how to dress. I thought if God wanted us to be like that He wouldn't have made us all different.

At a time when the public is sour on politicians, have no use for them, Bill Clinton has risen to a different level. Bill Clinton is endlessly interesting.

I used to be a free spirit.
