As far as my favorite songs to perform live, most of the songs we did live were my favorite. If they weren't, I would have gotten rid of them.

As far as film goes, I enjoy all Hollywood films and all Horror films like The Bride of Frankenstein, which also might be my favorite. I like 60's and 70's Italian and Spanish Horror films.

I'm just honored that people still like us and people are still nice to me.

Republicans let this happen over and over, and there is never anyone to stick up for them. They spend too much time defending themselves.

Cancer softened me up. I like the old me better. I liked being angry. It made me feel strong.

Europe was a horrible place. There was nothing on TV. The food was terrible. And they don't even have ice. Who doesn't have ice?

I didn't want the Ramones being told what to be doing, and I wanted the Ramones being presented in the right light - the remaining Ramones.

I had a good career. I've been very fortunate.

I never felt out of control. It was just the way I lived my life. I was the neighborhood bully.

I never liked blues and I really didn't like jazz. I liked Chuck Berry.

I'm only going to be the way I'd want someone to react to me.

If I didn't like someone, I wouldn't want him calling me up when I was dying. I wouldn't want them having regrets that they didn't talk to me.

It was a job, and I was just doing my job.

My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.

My favorite artists have always been Elvis and The Beatles and they still are!

'Rocket to Russia' is, I think, my favorite Ramones record. We reached our peak at that point.

Two of my biggest heroes were my father and John Wayne.

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

For all my success with the Ramones, I carried around fury and intensity during my career. I had an image, and that image was anger. I was the one who was always scowling, downcast. I tried to make sure I looked like that when I was getting my picture taken.

I don't need much more money, and I thought that when I retired that nobody would want to talk to me anymore. Then I did, and people still want to talk to me.
