  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • Sometimes you get an audience that's looking to just explode.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
