I have been hearing gossip and lies since I began working. When I was 17, I used to get very angry because I opened a magazine and I saw myself in a picture on a motorcycle, and the headline was, 'I'm getting married next month.'
I think it's your own choice if you turn from an angry young man to a bitter, old bastard.
I was an angry young man, a rebel without a cause, and I channeled my emotions into my music.
And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.
There are so many people in Memphis who have real reasons to be angsty, but I was just a suburban white kid with all this misplaced rage.
I was bloody ill-tempered when I was young.
Much did I rage when young, Being by the world oppressed, But now with flattering tongue It speeds the parting guest.
There are millions of kids who, naturally, if we could only remember how it is - you know, you resent authority, you are impatient for change, you want to fix things up.
