Joe Strummer, Johnny Rotten, And Ian Mackaye Were All People Who Really Made Me See Things Differently.

I Like The Idea Of Going Out With A Woman And Not Doing Anything, And Just Eating Dinner And Talking, And That's Cool, Too. So, Someone Might Look At Me And Say, "no Way, Man. He's Just Banging Strippers." And I Do That, But Not All The Time.

I Come From A Minimum Wage Working World, As We All Did For At Least Some Part Of Our Lives, And That Is Never Out Of My Rearview. I've Never Forgotten How Much Your Feet Hurt After You've Stood On Them For Like 12 Hours. And How The Drudgery Of A Job You Hate Craps On Your Entire Life; How You Treat Other People, How You Treat Yourself, And It Really Was Getting To Me.

I'm Not Into Fame. I'm Not Into Making Money, Outside Of Financing My Books. I'm Not Into Status. My Thing Is Basically About Time - Not Wasting It.

If You're Crazy Enough To Put Your Hat Into The Ring Of Speculation And Punditry, You're Going To Get Some Turbulence. But If It's Coming From Some Journalist With A Comfortable Degree Of Body Fat, I'm Not Losing Any Sleep Over It.
