“If you're a punk, you're a punk. You don't just stop.”

“The whole idea of punk rock was to get rid of the rock star.”

“I'm not into nostalgia. I don't look back.”

“I always felt that the music should be challenging. It shouldn't be something that you can just put on as background music.”

“We had our own trip. We weren't trying to fit into anybody else's trip.”

“We were never trying to be the biggest band in the world. We were just trying to be a good band.”

“SST was always about giving bands a chance that wouldn't have one otherwise.”

“People get too caught up in the past. I'm more interested in what's next.”

“I just play what I feel.”

“The idea was to play with a lot of intensity.”
