I pretty much grew up when punk was big in the UK. The Sex Pistols were heroes for me. I used to run around like Johnny Rotten. I had a jacket like his.

I never intended for the Sex Pistols to be immeasurably successful.

The Sex Pistols was a part of my life. Just a small part.

Television sounded really different than the Ramones sounded really different than us sounded really different than Blondie sounded really different than the Sex Pistols.

When punk began to be a genre, people were going to go out and try to mine it. Some of the better groups, like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols, were very artificial.

I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.
