I don't think punk ever really dies, because punk rock attitude can never die.
~ Billy Idol
Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body... show your personality as much as possible.
It doesn't matter about money; having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You're still left alone with yourself in the end.
I am quite a romantic person, really, and I should have put that into my music earlier, but I was probably denying it... I didn't want to be soft because I felt I had to be so hard to get people to believe in me.
