I won't give up on us
I don't play video games.
I'm interested in characters that are complex people.
I've had the big ups and the big downs.
I like the big ups. I'm into the big ups.
I'd like to do something with the Avett Brothers.
We should have an easier name to pronounce.
We always stayed true to what the Ramones are.
One of the biggest things that happened for me was YouTube.
I'm not that kind of publicity, attention-grabber type of artist.
I don't really write songs anymore.
Someday my pain will mark you
Actually I was writing with people that didn't get records.
I started playing the guitar and singing at about 11 or 12.
That MySpace is the story of the year. Everyone but my mother is on it.
I don't laugh out loud at comics a lot.
I was heavily influenced by Andy Kaufman and Steven Wright.
I'm predisposed to never be in pure celebration mode.
I do not play to musicians. I play to the people.
