I've been like this forever. I'm sweeter, probably, but me and my homegirls were a little buckwild, ya know? And it only got worse.
I was a maniac as a teenager; I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I was crazy.
When I was a kid, I had to try a lot of pyrotechnics just so people would know who I was.
It's hard to be careful, though, when you feel indestructible.
I did everything but drink the bong water when I was young.
I used to be pretty reckless. When I was a runner for a production company, I drove a massive 16 seater van. I was only 18. I mean I look young now, but then I looked about 12.
When I was young, I would drive so fast. Now I see it a different way.
When I volunteered for the draft as a 20-year-old, mischievous guy at the height of the Vietnam War, most thought I was destined to pass from this earth early!
As a kid, when I got to the edge of a cliff I wanted to jump off. I didn't want to kill myself. I wanted to fly.
I seldom went to bed before two or three o'clock in the morning, on the theory that if anything of interest were to happen to a young man it would almost certainly happen late at night.
I was kind of wild. I enjoyed myself as a young man. I was moving 100 miles per hour - on and off the field.
Rash, inexperienced youth holds itself a chosen instrument, and allows itself unbounded license.
I started promoting clubs when I was 15. 1 was doing what is considered the normal collegiate stuff when I was a lot younger. I was holding my own, but doing a lot of crazy things.
I look at myself at 19 and think I would never do what I did then now! I was so brazen, so confident, so fearless in a way. And remember, the world was a very aggressive place then.
I don't believe in censorship, but I do believe that an artist has to take some moral responsibility for what he or she is putting out there. And I think a lot of these young kids are going to have to learn the hard way before they realize that you can actually do some damage if you're being careless or frivolous in what you're saying.
When you're young and arrogant and cocky and feel you're invincible, you say a lot of mean things to a lot of people because you think you're better, you don't need to deal with people.
I got caught up in 35 years of Saturday nights. Every night was like party night to me. As a young man, you can do that; it's OK to be an idiot. But I woke up one day, and I realized that 35 years had gone by.
Kids, they are always hurting themselves. It's like, "Quick, get me to casualty quick!" while your doing something important like sitting down picking your ear.
An older guy, he's going to show you things that a young man can't show you. He's going to show you how to stay alive. He's going to show you how to turn corners where your young friends will show you how to turn right into that wall, you know what I'm saying?
I left home at 18, I thought I knew everything. It was fun for a while and then it wasn't fun any more.
I think I spent my whole childhood diving out of haylofts with my BB gun and coming out shooting.
I was kind of a bouncy kid. I used to roller-skate into the sides of cars.
When you're a teenager, you think you're invincible. You don't listen to anyone.
All I can say is that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're young and foolish.
When I was young I was a fool. So wrap me up in dreams and death.
