[ Photographer shouting indistinctly ] I think it's partly my age, you know.

It's where I am in life.

I'm sort of at a point where I can really -- I'm 69 years old, so I can really look back over the landscape of my life and really see it in total, you know, all the different eras -- they'd say today "eras" -- stages of my life.

I can see it all.

And I think it just made sense at this moment.

I wrote a book about 10 years ago, but it feels more right now that I'm glad we waited to do the documentary till today.

You know, I did the thing I loved in terms of punk rock.

We weren't doing it because we thought we'd make a lot of money or anything like that.

It was purely because we love the music.

It went mega, and then I was able to come to America and start a solo career here.

You kind of see all of that, and then you see me go through sort of drug addiction, motorcycle accidents, sort of a relationship with my parents.

My father in particular was difficult at times, but we came through that, and I think that's the point.

Perhaps it's a nice day to tour again.

It's been going fantastic.

She's incredible.

I've known Joan since we -- since I saw a Germs and Dead Kennedys concert at the Whisky a Go Go.

I met her afterwards.

We hung around.

It was me and Joan and 20 other girls spanking each other.

It was fantastic.

So we're having a great time on the tour.

♪ Les yeux sans visage ♪ ♪ Eyes without a face ♪ ♪ Les yeux sans visage ♪ ♪ Eyes without a face ♪ I love music, I love rock 'n' roll.

And it's the perfect vehicle to talk about my life.

That's -- today it gives me -- I can talk emotionally with rock 'n' roll.

It's just what makes me tick.

So, uh, it's the perfect thing to do.

And I think with my new album, "Dream Into It," I bounced off this documentary, so they kind of go hand -- hand in hand.

It's killer.

I mean, it's got emotional moments.

I was crying at the end of it last time I watched it.
