From the age of about five to twelve I was very bad, a hideous little terror who beat people up. I was a member of the Rough Gang - we went around and terrorized all the pupils in school.

We ought not to demonize a single gang member, and we ought not to romanticize a single gang.

Little moments can have a feeling and a texture that is very real.

Comedy is a very rough beat. It's no holds barred, as it should be.

I think academics are infuriating. For every expert on Shakespeare there is another one to cancel his theory out. It drives you up the wall. I think the greatest form of finding out the truth is through fantasy.

A lot of people say, 'AC/DC - that's the band with the little guy who runs around in school shorts!'
