I've been like this forever. I'm sweeter, probably, but me and my homegirls were a little buckwild, ya know? And it only got worse.
I was typing away while everybody was dropping acid and smoking grass. I was known as my own square.
My main motivation is not to get bored. I'm just hoping I get a vaguely maverick reputation.
I was kind of a troublemaker, believe it or not.
I'm strong and opinionated. Those qualities brought me a lot of problems since I was a little girl in school, saying 'I don't agree' and fighting with the children. It's part of my curiosity for life.
Mad, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence.
I was a maniac as a teenager; I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I was crazy.
My mother started out by being a very good girl. She did everything that was expected of her, and it cost her dearly. Late in her life, she was furious that she had not followed her own heart; she thought that it had ruined her life, and I think she was right.
I'm a New Yorker, and I jaywalk with the best of them.
I didn't rebel as a child. I missed that angry teenager thing.
I was probably the only kid in school that had long hair.
I'm more attracted to the bad guys. Why? Because in real life, I don't know any good guys. I know okay guys. I know polite guys. I know people who can control themselves.
I did throw a lot of eggs into one basket, as you do in your teenage years - 'I am buying these records, I am wearing this'. I did quite a bit of that. You have to do it, wear your stupid shoes, wear your stupid hair.
I've never been a bad boy.
I can't help but do things my own way.
I never quite toed the line. I was a bit disruptive. All my early school reports from the age of 5 were 'Daniel must learn not to distract others.' And now, that's what I do for a living.
Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body... show your personality as much as possible.
In my personal life, I was quite a different Boy Next Door than the one Mr. and Mrs. Middle America imagined me to be.
I can be as contrary as I choose.
When I was a punk teenager, I rebelled because lots of people in Iceland think that foreigners are evil and that if you don't wear woolen hats and eat sheep, you're betraying your heritage.
Women love the bad boy.
I love being as bad as possible! You've got to love a bad girl. Look at 'Gone With the Wind,' Scarlett O'Hara - total bad girl, but you love her.
I did fine in school. School was cool until I started personally rebelling.
I grew up in the Bible Belt and I made my own clothes and dyed my hair purple. Nobody ever knew what to do with me.
The troublesome ones in a family are usually either the wits or the idiots.
