There's no judgment on bands that continue on who aren't popular; some people get enjoyment out of it. I'm just not one of those people.

I would see people on TV, or I'd see bands I really liked, and I thought, 'I want that.'

I feel like Miami is way, way too hot.

I love driving. Listen to some music.

I find it weird to use my own voice on TV.

I think Ian MacKaye is everything that I always wanted to be.

I will always, no matter what, be a punk more than anything.

I'd want to direct a video for Yoko Ono. As long as I got to work with Yoko Ono someday, I'd be really happy. I just think she's such a great artist - it would just be so nice.

As far as value goes, obviously it's nicer to be in an environment where you feel comfortable. But it's also clear that it's probably not the most realistic thing.

I would never play a character that wasn't true. It's not a moral thing; it's just that it's more convincing if it's a little bit like me.

I'm not by nature a cynical person. But sometimes your expectations are different from reality.

The bands that were big in '77, like the Clash and the Sex Pistols and Talking Heads, I got into them in the early '80s. And it changed my life. It got into my DNA.

I will always consider myself a punk because of those experiences in high school. It will always be a part of me.

Missing something doesn't help anything. You can only look at the future, what you can keep doing.

The way James Franco goes to new projects, he does it the way an artist should, which is with a question mark. Like, will this work?

You should approach everything in life like, 'What is this?'

There's almost no such thing as a hipster.

I was impersonating people way, way, way early, as far back as I can remember. And I would do people on my street for my parents, I remember. And in school, I did the same thing with all the teachers. It was just like, I mean, it was something I loved to do. I don't think there was a time when I wasn't doing it. I was always doing it.

I really like watching TV at home.

If something seems like a little venue, don't treat it like that. Do it all. If you're sort of wondering why you're doing something at some location, just do it - any size theater, production, or whatever. It's all helpful.
