For me the music is a vehicle for my lyrics. It's a chance to get some really good words across.

Punk rock isn't something you grow out of Punk rock is an attitude, and the essence of that attitude is 'give us some truth'

Everyone has got to realise you can't hold onto the past if you want any future. Each second should lead to the next one.

I don't have any other message than don't forget you are alive

When I started, they told me I only needed 3 chords and the truth... It turned out I could manage with 2 and some vague ideas.

The way you get a better world is, you don't put up with substandard anything.

In fact, punk rock means exemplary manners to your fellow human beings.

We're all going to have to learn to live together and develop a greater tolerance and get rid off whatever our fathers gave us in the way of hatred between nations.

Don't write slogans, write truths.

The future is unwritten.

When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don't learn nothing, cause hey, it's not your fault, it's his fault, over there.

I was so sad that day. My heart was trying to climb from my body.

When fate's got it in for you there's no limit to what you may have to put up with.

O Mozart, immortal Mozart, how many, how infinitely many inspiring suggestions of a finer, better life you have left in our souls!

‎"Make your god transparent to the transcendent, and it doesn't matter what his name is."

Turn you situation over to God because He can do more in a moment than you can do in a lifetime.

Study and research into truth often only serves to make us see by experience our natural ignorance.

The great thing about change, is that it absolutely, positively, always means things are going to get even better. Even when you don't know how.

A healthy body attends to the pain of the weakest part.

In this business, it is about making an impact.

Babe Ruth was great. I'm just lucky.
