“I've always embraced failure as a noble pursuit. It allows you to be anti whatever anyone wants you to be, and to break all the rules.”

Punk's influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool.
I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that.
What matters is this: Being fearless of failure arms you to break the rules. In doing so, you may change the culture and just possibly, for a moment, change life itself.
Art school had taught me it was far better to be a flamboyant failure than any kind of benign success.
