It's not how many tickets can we sell, it's where do we want to play, not where should we play to make the most money. We don't really care about that.

My job is not babysitting people; my job is focusing on making the best band I possibly can.

The packaging has to really sell the product today, because kids can go out and buy a CD and then 10 kids can burn them. So you have to really be on your toes.

I discovered the Clash, the Pistols, obviously the Ramones, Blondie.

We were watching bands like the Ramones and Blondie and other bands beginning to ignite.

We're gonna try and bring on all the different aspects of horror movie making and bring on guests and show all these old '50's B movies. Not the real corny ones, the real cool ones.

Look at all the Misfits products that came out. We never made a dime off it.

I would have hated to been locked into music for the last 20 years and not been able to have a family.

If you open your mouth in the dark, you will speak while in the wrong mood--darkness is the time to listen.

A bad deed always brings a punishment.

Gratitude and treachery are merely the two extremities of the same procession. You have seen all of it that is worth staying for when the band and the gaudy officials have gone by.

All really good picture books are written to be read five hundred times

I don't trust white critics' judgment about most things that deal with black life, particularly when a black person is the creator.
