I never like to think about going back; I only look forward.

I'm not nostalgic for my glory days in college. It was lame for me. Probably because I had no friends.

I never wanted to be part of any scene, I never wanted to be a part of anything, I wanted to do my own thing. Those are the lessons I learned from punk rock.

I wanted to get back to my style of 20 years ago after a long period of exploring horror and fantasy themes.

It's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you.

Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.

I've decided to do what I want to do in life and follow my own path as an artist, so I've decided not to participate in any sort of nostalgia in which I'm marginalized as a pop icon of yesteryear.

I made the big turnaround in the early Nineties when I started hearing all the tenth generation punk bands like Green Day and Offspring and all those people. It just made me fall in love with punk again and remember my roots, and since that time I've always wanted to do more of that kind of music again.
