> 9) Have any members of the band had problems with heroin?
All members have had problems with heroin. We have problems with heroin
every time we have a friend who dies from it, who goes into rehab for it, or
who does it. Since you ask the question, you probably don't know any people
who have had problems with it. If you did, you surely wouldn't turn it into
an adolescent joke for some kid to read in a magazine. I believe it to be
one of the most inane things to joke about.

> 14) What do you think of skating these days?
I think it's mainly a commodity-diven industry like any other and the kids
that are buying in are unable to see beyond the bullshit trends that young
venture capitalist are throwing at them to eat up. People are more into the
style and the new boards and video games than they are into what it actually
meant to skate when Lance Mountain, Chistian Hosoi, Tony Hawk and Gator were
in their prime. And that is exactly the antithesis of what skateboarding
meant to me when I started doing it in 1983.
