I think it would be nice to be a prince.

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.

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.'

No one knows as well as I how much nonsense is printed in books.

Let your passion serve as your energy source to keep you going.

If you don't believe in hyperspace you become more and more false and irrelevant every day.

An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.

I'm kind of a distractible guy.

There is no escape from yesterday because yesterday has deformed us, or been deformed by us. The mood is of no importance. Deformation has taken place.

No temptation can ever be measured by the value of its object.

Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass destruction, but it is the only nation with a leader who has used them against his own people.
