I like California a lot more than New York these days.

I got tired of the Ramones around the time I quit and I really got into rap. I thought it was the new punk rock. LL Cool J was my biggest idol.

Because I'm quiet, people think I'm really cold, or rude, or snobby. But I'm literally scared to talk to them.

Metallica - they're so demonic, they're crazy, I don't know how they do it.

I think the Internet shortens the distance between people, and that can often lead to inappropriateness.

I've always admired people with really strong presences and felt that caring about the visual component of what you do is not intrinsically superficial or vain.

I've always liked extreme performers; I don't think I am one, but my mentality is in line with that.

Visuals are as artistic as sounds, so being serious about both isn't a contradiction to me.

It's very hard to tour.

When I got into rap I didn't exactly win any popularity contests. I called myself Dee Dee King, after B.B. King, to the total dismay of my fellow Ramones.

When I met Ronnie Spector, she walked in and said, 'You look like me.'

The boat from India was a crowded place

The words seemed to bite physically into Gatsby.

"I'm sorry that I spell'd the word I hate to go above you Because" - the brown eyes lower fell - "Because you see I love you!"

Computers will be able to do all the mundane tasks in our daily lives.

I believe serious progress (in the abolition of war) can be achieved only when men become organized on an international scale and refuse, as a body, to enter military or war service.

Never risk your reputation on a single shot, for if you miss the loss is irreparable.

People who are creative often will spend hours doing something and come out of their period of creation and not even notice that hours have passed. In that sense, they're able to time travel.

It is the spirit of a person that hangs above him like a star in the sky.

One would like to know, what were foes made for except to be used?

Our object in the construction of the state is the greatest happiness of the whole, and not that of any one class.
