I'm a screamer and a yeller. When I want something, all I do is yell, and I get responses.
Sometimes words are harder than blows.
Youever insult Bride again, I swear I'll rip your throat out and feed you to the gators in the swamp. You understand me?" - Vane
I think most people don't react well to being screamed at. It's counterproductive.
I would try to be super-assertive in meetings and, you know, pound my hand off the table, and it never ended well. People would say, 'What are you beating the table for?' It's not natural for me.
It comes down to that ... business tactic: the guy that yells loudest is right.
The modern media culture favors those who yell the loudest.
Passive aggressors who are adept at this will have trained themselves to remain calm, while you get irritated and emotional.
I learned from my father how to swear right and how to string it together for optimum effect/affect. I use it like karate. I bring it out when it's needed.
I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. And I don't think people are ready for the message that I'm delivering, and delivering with a sense of violent love.
There are too many organisations - and the BBC is a fabulous organisation - that seem to think it's OK to badger, hector and threaten people.
Very often, when you get into a conversation that's more of a debate, you'll pick up that the other person is venting at you. And when someone vents at you, it triggers a reaction. You get defensive and vent back.
I don't write polite letters. I don't like to plea-bargain. I like to fight.
As far as talking, I'm a pretty competitive dude.
I worked for a couple of screamers in my early days in Hollywood. I don't like being screamed at, and I am not myself a screamer.
Expressing anger is a form of public littering.
What the vengeance, could he not speak 'em fair?
Some have a violent and turgid manner of talking and thinking; they are always in extremes, and pronounce concerning everything in the superlative.
Swearing is industry language. For as long as we're alive it's not going to change. You've got to be boisterous to get results.
There's no point meeting somebody with a meat cleaver the moment they open their mouth - because they're going to clam up, you're going to have lost your impact and the audience is going to hate you for not allowing anyone to say anything.
Shouting at people keeps you alive, healthy, young, fresh.
I get off on pushing people's buttons sometimes.
I shout at people... I am told that I'm a tyrant, but I still get things done, so that is fine.
Toxic people defy logic. Some are blissfully unaware of the negative impact that they have on those around them, and others seem to derive satisfaction from creating chaos and pushing other people's buttons.
I have things that are strident and confrontational, and I have a lot of things that are childlike and innocent and sort of sweet. So, somewhere in between lies the middle of me.
