We had a lot of fun together. We really were in sync with each other, a lot.Madisyn Shipman is a great kid.

Just about 99% of the population masturbates while the other 1% lie about it.

Anything that is successful is a series of mistakes.

Some of the punks didn’t know what to make of us, but I finally realized that was what made us punk. We sang what we meant, from the heart, and didn’t worry about what anyone was going to think.

When someone, let’s say a teacher, speaks of the world and you are not in it, it’s like looking into the mirror and seeing nothing.

Love has a funny way of showing up when you aren’t looking for it and didn’t plan on it.
