I've always had a problem with authority. That's why I had to be my own boss.

I developed a resistance to authority. Not to discipline - I learned that. But to authority. I like to think for myself. And I like to cause trouble.

I've never been any good with authority.

At Murry Bergtraum High I wanted to be as different from my father as possible. So I acted out in school, I was very anti-authority.

I've always had trouble with authority.

I obviously identify with the anti-authority figure. I've pretty much always had problems with authority, ever since I was a kid.

I created no authority that wasn't already there under the constitution.

I used to feel that I had to be dictatorial in order to be respected, but after I did a couple of TV movies, I began to see that authority came with the job. So I began to relax and let more people into the process, and my work really improved.

I've had a contemptuous relationship with authority throughout my life. I found myself at odds with authority, and I'm disdainful of blind authority.
