I love punk rock, but I also love metal.

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

Starting out really punk came from not knowing any better and listening to music like that, not knowing how to play music - well, still not knowing how to play music.

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

Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.

I started making music with my band in the '80s, so I am more product of post punk than classical music, and I have always carried on this way.

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.

Hip-hop and R&B is mostly what I listen to. I don't have a connection with punk rock - I just never had that experience.
