I'd been a Bowie fan before punk and used to get no end of trouble. I was always getting knocked about and having to run up the street, getting chased by people. It was horrible.

What was punk all about? To me, it was if you really want to do something, go ahead and do it.

There is a lot more to me than just being a crazy fighter.

I never fought much. It just wasn't my thing. I suppose I could, but I've never got into fights. Not a real one.

You know, not to sound corny or nuthin', but I felt like a fighter comin' up, man. I felt like, you know, I'm being attacked for this reason or that reason, and I gotta fight my way through this.

I was so upset with what was going on in the world. I just couldn't stand the idea of being people tortured and that we even had such a thing as war. I hated the older generation, who had not done anything about it. Punk was a call-to-arms for me.

I was a punk. I think that's why I'm such a good person now, because I was such a bad guy then.

I really hated fighting people and hurting them, but felt unable to stop.

I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it.
