I've got mad energy for days. That's what people can't get their minds around. They say, 'Oh, he's going to crash.' They try to apply all these common terms to a guy who is not common. I don't fit into their little box.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Mad' is a term we use to describe a man who is obsessed with one idea and nothing else.
That's like making fun of a maniac because his brain isn't completely right, because he isn't in the norm.
You know, for years I used to read about myself. They'd say, 'He has a temper' or 'He's a bully' or something like that, and it always bothered me.
All that self-control stuff, I tried all that stuff from analysts. I went everywhere to these guys, every kind of anger-management, psychologist, psychiatrist. 'Get rid of my temper, get rid of my temper.' And there was only one guy who just said, 'I don't think this is related to, uh, issues. I think there has got to be something wrong.'
Away from the pitch, I'm a very calm person. I maybe have the odd cross word with my wife, like any relationship, but that's it.
I no longer have the energy to get really angry, like I used to.
I find there's this weird anger thing: Someone will approach me at the bar and say, 'Hey, can I buy you a drink?' And I'll say, 'No, I'm okay.' And then all of a sudden, there's this male anger flip, where they go, 'Oh, you know what? I wasn't even gonna buy you a drink, 'cause you're not even that cute anyway,' and walk away.
Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it.
Stupidity often saves a man from going mad.
