I wanted to be in a punk band before I had even heard any punk music.

I was a punk. I think that's why I'm such a good person now, because I was such a bad guy then.

I was the punk outsider who nobody messed with. I was fearless. At 16, I graduated and moved out.

I was really into punk. I was 11 years old; I had a blue mohican.

I formed a band when I was about 13, and we all listened to punk - or what we thought was punk!

I was the only punk rocker at my high school. And there were at least a handful of black kids who liked hip-hop. Both were kind of the new music of the day, and it was lonely being the only punk.

I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle.

I was such a punk.

I think I wanted to be a punk-rocker before I wanted to be anything else. I remember wanting a mohawk, and I wanted to cut the sleeves off of my jean jacket because I used to want to be Dirty Dan from Sha-Na-Na. This is before hip-hop was even around. I had the skinny piano tie. I had it, man.

Punk rock really influenced me, the basic metal bands, Zeppelin, Stones and Floyd, and Southern rock bands. I think I was pretty well-rounded.
