Well, I don’t think I’ll ever stop being frustrated or feel fulfilled artistically.

I’m appalled at how many people my age, or even five or ten years younger, have no tangible memories of important history that happened when we were growing up.

I’ve never been a big fan of subtle art. I like art that gets deep into my head and starts my brain spinning with new ideas and inspiration and my whole body is full of energy.

Any alternative culture that inspires a lot of passion and inspiration is also in danger of being set in its ways, almost from the moment it’s born.

We don’t need a flat tax, but a flattening tax, to truly level the playing field.

I don’t know whether I see it as slipping inside the villains, but part of what makes Ralph Nader and Michael Moore such effective speakers and communicators is that they know how corporate culture works, how our lawmaking bodies really work, and where the bones are buried.

This is my home. Home is where the disease is. As long as I stay in America, I’ll never run out of subjects for songs.

It depends on the situation. I mean, on one hand there’s the argument that people should be left alone on the other hand, there’s the argument to wade in a stop slaughters in places like Bosnia and Kosovo and what we probably should have done in Rwanda.

No matter what I do, my songs come out in a certain style, and if that sounds like Dead Kennedys, then there’s probably a reason for it. Don’t forget, I wrote most of those songs, music and lyrics.

I’m tired of being ruled by the Skull and Bones. The only place they belong are on punk-rock albums!
