The main thing is that this band keeps going.

We're gonna try and bring on all the different aspects of horror movie making and bring on guests and show all these old '50's B movies. Not the real corny ones, the real cool ones.

I might not be Shaq, but I can be Kobe, you know?

The new album is a childhood dream come true. Got to sing with Ronnie Spector, got to cover a bunch of songs that were influential in drawing a line between the punk form and original rock and roll.

It's time to start really writing some stuff, and I really wanted to write some stuff in the vein of the original Misfits, and this was really the first step in that direction.

If we were to hit the level that Metallica or somebody like that hit, we'd have had a hard time dealing with it. I think it would have been our doom. It's hard for anybody at that level.

If you really want something you just hang with it. We think our future's ahead and not behind.

With us, it's a very specific audience. If you like steak, this is it for you.

We have a problem now with parents stealing their kids' CDs, so the roles have been reversed.

The packaging has to really sell the product today, because kids can go out and buy a CD and then 10 kids can burn them. So you have to really be on your toes.

We were watching bands like the Ramones and Blondie and other bands beginning to ignite.

It's not how many tickets can we sell, it's where do we want to play, not where should we play to make the most money. We don't really care about that.

The Misfits pretty much funds the Misfits. It used to cost me money to be in the band. I think we got paid the last gig we ever did. After that, we had to work to support our families.

I discovered the Clash, the Pistols, obviously the Ramones, Blondie.

I would have hated to been locked into music for the last 20 years and not been able to have a family.

We've been through about a million different line-ups throughout our career.

Danny and I wrote 10 songs in seven days, which I thought might be close to the record until you probably look at some of the Beatles statistics.

Look at all the Misfits products that came out. We never made a dime off it.

I believe in God.

The Ramones went through a couple different line-up changes, and Johnny and Joey held through the whole thing. So right now I'm the only one hanging in there.

The main thing is that this band keeps going.

My job is not babysitting people; my job is focusing on making the best band I possibly can.

Music shouldn't be based around money or politics. Music should be a bunch of people that really do great songs together doing them together for the pursuit of having a good time.

Don't buy the bootlegs, save your stuff, everything's coming back out.

We got dragged through a system and got burned by crooked lawyers, and the list goes on and on.

There were some situations where I was giving up everything I had for the band and I just expected everybody else to feel the same way. I realized I was just kidding myself.

What will happen to sex after liberation? Frankly, I don't know. It is a great mystery to all of us.

When I lecture, under almost all circumstances, I write a new lecture for the occasion. It helps me think. It helps me make demands of myself that I would not otherwise make.

If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it.

I'll always be an amateur photographer.

I gave my parole once, and it has been shamefully violated by the British Government; I shall not give another to people on whom no faith can be reposed.

I think it would be very boring dramatically to have a film where everybody was a lawyer or doctor and had no faults. To me, the most important thing is to be truthful.

I like to feel that I understand little things about sports.

It's commonly said that if slaughterhouses had clear glass walls, nobody would eat meat. I think people go out of their way to remain ignorant about how factory farm animals are treated.

I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently. People become famous through all sorts of different reasons... some of it through art and some of it through just wanting to be famous. And I think how that all starts tends to reflect how you live your life daily.

We all must support the arts, as it is our culture. It makes us better people. It makes us happy; it gives us empathy and shows us how to live. It is so important.

A revolution only lasts fifteen years, a period which coincides with the effectiveness of a generation.

Some people still believe you should just fall in line with what's going on - and that's scary. It makes a mockery of freedom of speech.

People who are exceptionally intelligent are often lonely because there are few people as intelligent as them. I have two little children, and everyone says: 'I hope they're doing well in school. I hope they're bright.' And I think: 'Why would anyone want their children to be the brightest?' Academia is a lonely world.

In the crime fiction section, you may just find a novel that talks about the place where you're from and speaks to you about your life - or the life yours could have become if a little misfortune had come your way.

Our civilization is now in the transition stage between the age of warring empires and a new age of world unity and peace.

We have shown that Islam can rule the world perfectly for 14 centuries, and during this time of Muslim power we did not borrow ideas like democracy from others, so why do we need to learn democracy from them now?

It is very dangerous to have your self-worth riding on your results as an athlete.

Futurism: This was a movement of intellectuals who wanted to replace tradition with the modern world of machinery, speed, violence, and public relations. It proves that we should be careful what intellectuals wish for, because we might get it.

Russians are very discerning about ballet. They're very opinionated about what classical ballet is.

I always used to wonder why American actors were getting fat, then I made a U.S. movie. I'm seeing all the food every day, and there's lots of waiting around because making an American movie is very slow.

As a composer, I'm basically trying to represent myself through my music in an honest way.

In those days he was wiser than he is now; he used to frequently take my advice.

The first thing you have to do is make sure you're still wanted back. I never take that for granted any more.
