“I had a good career. I've been very fortunate.” — Johnny Ramone

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

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

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

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.
