Quote

Rage is the only quality which has kept me, or anybody I have ever studied, writing columns for newspapers.

I'm a bit of an expert on anger, having suffered from it all through my youth, when I was both brunt and font. It's certainly the most miserable state to be in but it's also tremendously gratifying, really - rage feels justified.

I certainly don't think I would have been asked to pose for Rage if I wasn't a known writer.

There's a lot of rage... you have to express it somehow. If I didn't express it in song, I'd become incredibly violent.

I'm in a rage all of the time.

Rage is exciting, but leaves me confused and exhausted.

I'm one of those people who has to write. If I don't write, I feel itchy and depressed and cranky. So everybody's glad when I write and stop complaining already.

If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey.

Rage only works if it is justified. That's the trick with rage. You gotta have a reason to be mad.
