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

All punk is is attitude. That's what makes it. The attitude.

The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.

I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.

To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying 'This is who I am'.

Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality.

When someone asks you, 'What's punk?' my reply is, 'If you have to ask, you're never going to know.'

I enjoy punk, the attitude as well as the music, but I don't feel like I have to be a carbon copy of it and invite all this controversy just to be punk rock.

Punk is just like any other sub culture or music. Straight rock music has those elements. I grew up in a place where the punk rock kids fed the homeless in the town square.

I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that.
