Pauline Kael said that Rip Torn could get angrier faster than any other American actor: that he could go from zero to 10 in 1.8 seconds or something like that.
No one's banging down my door. People see the way I look, and they don't feel threatened, but they should watch out for me. They don't know there's a steel rod that drives me. I get ticked off, and the rage just gets me going. My motor is anger.
If Bronze Bomber got loose in the streets, it won't be something nice.
Although there is a beast in all of us, we don't show it often. But it is very liberating to be that angry at times. Given a chance, I'm sure people would like to go on a rampage and break everything.

Anger is one of those emotions that doesn't follow the letter of the law. It speaks before it thinks. It rears up on its hind legs and charges.
This nation is like a spring freshet; it overruns its banks and destroys all who are in its path.
Anger is an all-consuming fire that will burn you and everyone else around you. Where is the justice in that?
A man in passion rides a horse that runs away with him.
