1. On
being in a rehabilitation center: “That was fucked up. They also made me play
volleyball. It was a nightmare.”
2. On
quitting the Ramones: “By then I was having a lot of fantasies about jobs
[…] so I could quit the Ramones. Like being a doorman or a candy store
owner, or having a hot dog stand.”
3. About
living by an old graveyard: “Once I went down there to get a loose brick and a
dead person’s hand fell out of the hole where the brick had been […] the hand
was all bone, but a gold and diamond ring was on its finger […] it must’ve been
worth two and a half carats […] the money I got for it at the pawn shop kept me
in dope and hostess cupcakes for months.”
4. On
Joey the Artist: “Once Joey bought some fruit and vegetables at the grocery
store and used them to do a painting. He churned them in the blender and
painted with them—you could either look at the painting or eat it.
5. On End
of the Century: “I still have no idea how [Phil Spector and
the Ramones] finished End of the Century, or who actually
played bass on it.”
