I’m an angry person, angrier than most people would imagine, I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it’s useful to use that anger.

We are living in a culture where we are so led by the visual, and what is promoted in the media, that the attitude becomes, ‘I don’t have to go through normalcy in life – I can look for exemptions. And I expect them, and when I look for them and they are not there, I am angry.’
The funniest is the moms who get really angry with me, and they bring their kid who’s dressed like Deadpool, and he’s 9 years old, and they’re scolding me that their little kid can’t enjoy Deadpool.

My brother had been given a chemistry set for his bar mitzvah, but he wasn’t interested in it. It was upstairs in the attic, and I would sneak up there and use it at great peril because I was afraid if he found out, he would get very angry at me, but he didn’t seem to care.
Nancy Pelosi says the angry opposition to health care reform is like the angry opposition to gay rights that led to Harvey Milk being shot.

I have the embarrassing thing where often if you’re watching a film, you kind of go through the emotions and the thought stages that your character went through, but you sort of do it with Tourette’s. So I end up often crying when I’m crying, and looking angry when I’m looking angry, so it’s pretty ugly.
I just felt like I was making people angry because I wouldn’t wear the frilly bows.
If you change and adapt your persona, you are seen as inauthentic; if you stay the angry young man, you fade from attention or seem tiresome.
I don’t mind a little Sturm und Drang. When I was doing ‘Riding in Cars With Boys,’ I wouldn’t smile at anybody, because my character, Bev, was angry at the world. I’m the opposite. Inside my head I’d be like, God, I’ll explain to you at the end of shooting that I’m not this person.

I’d rather be an angry optimist than an angry nihilist.

I’m not angry. And I don’t like the thing of the ‘angry black woman,’ either.
You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor teaches tolerance.

I do think there are trends in your life once you’ve been auditioning long enough. I was the angry teenager and then the sweet victim.

I don’t think the American people, if you look historically, elect angry candidates.
I just have that sort of face and when I got to Hollywood in the late ’70s they took one look at me and said, ‘Get him a gun. You definitely should be carrying a gun,’ and so a lot of it is just the way I look. I look like I’m angry and dangerous, and in fact, I’m loveable and kind.
I’m finding myself really angry over spending and the deficit. I’m finding myself really angry over what’s happening in the Middle East, the decision to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely. I’m angry about cap and trade. And I’ve been on record for a long time on the failed war on drugs.
I was angry but not at God. I feel that you are closer to God when you are messed up. Definitely. That’s when you most need God, and God cannot control what man does.
We’re only here to love God and each other. I’m not saying I’ve never gotten angry at anyone. I do. But you’ve got to forgive and move on.
I’m a pretty chill and easygoing person; most people in Australia are, as well. I don’t think I ever really saw a lot of fights growing up. I think it’s hard to get people in Australia angry and want to fight, minus one or two people in the media… but we won’t say any names.
If I cry, it’s because I’m very angry and I can’t do anything about it because I’ve run into a dead end. That’s when the tears would come down.

So many fantastic male characters are brooding, angry, and not nice; that doesn’t happen as much with women.
When I was a kid, there was unhappiness in my family – was dealt with partly by escaping to television. And from a very early age, for whatever reason, I became scornful and resistant to and angry about that. And some other time in my life, I realized that there’s a lot I loved in television.
People are always angry at America. They’re absolutely certain that America either caused their problems or is deliberately not fixing their problems. But the anger is always directed at America and never at Americans.
I used to swim with these beavers in a beaver pond when I was 10. I went back when I was 11 and found there were no more beavers. I found that trappers had taken them all, so I became quite angry, and that winter I began to walk the trap lines and free animals from the traps and destroy the traps.
I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people. You can name it whatever you want, Islam or Christianity, but if you have a system in which God is distant and angry all the time, and you’re trying to please him through the right disciplines, it isn’t going to work for everyone.
I get angry about things, then go on and work.
When a man is wrong and won’t admit it, he always gets angry.
People who are angry at themselves sometimes blame others.

I think the thing I had to be careful about while writing a book was not to say anything that was revealing about other people that they would be uncomfortable with. I didn’t want to make people angry – that’s a real risk.
