It's better for me to play with guys because Rock 'n' Roll has such an aggressive attitude.

I need that aggressive attitude to play my music and more men have that attitude than women.

My attitude is always one of sensuality aggressive enthusiasm and a kind of outrageousness in my expression.

I went to England in the '70s and I was in my early 20s. There was still a residue of that era of being an underclass or colonial. I assume it must have been a more aggressive and prominent attitude 40 years before that because Australia internationally wasn't regarded as having much cultural value. We were a country full of sheep and convicts.

There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man beyond history and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.

I did not want to put myself on the line as an Australian playing Britain's greatest comic actor. The fans of Sellers are obsessive possessive - and aggressive. I did not want to risk their anger - or my own reputation.

Catholics and evangelicals need to remain allied and in solidarity against the increasingly aggressive secularism of our age.

Canada has a passive-aggressive culture with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.
