Daft Punk wouldn't have normally fit into anything that was pop on the radio, but they just did it.

Punk is not dead. Punk will only die when corporations can exploit and mass produce it.

When punk began to be a genre, people were going to go out and try to mine it. Some of the better groups, like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols, were very artificial.

People would be surprised at how much of an electronic dude I am, and I like new wave, post-punk and proto-punk stuff.

Punk rock has become another viable art form. It always was. But now it's like everyone's doing it.

When punk rock came along, the one thing you were not supposed to be was musical.

In the early days, myself and my friends were into punk because we had no money, just very basic instruments and skills. It was more about the ethos and the energy.

It's really hard to imagine there ever being the kind of impact there was when punk rock happened in the late 70's. I wish there would be one big change like that again, but I don't know if that'll ever happen.

I've never heard Daft Punk; I've never heard a track of theirs in my life. They're the two guys with motorcycle helmets on?

Punk rock wasn't a career choice. It was a hobby that we did for fun. We never thought we'd get as big as our idols in T.S.O.L. or certainly not the Ramones.
