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

My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave.

I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.

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.

I've never been any good with authority.

I don't tend to think in terms of a moral authority - be a good boy, do good things - more in terms of what feels right.

Oddly, I do have a problem with authority. I find it very difficult to knuckle down and follow rules. Which are the classic symptoms of someone who has a troubled relationship with their father. And yet, I never had a problem with my father.

I don't feel I can speak with authority for many other people.

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