Anger Quote by Harry Dean Stanton

“I was the classic killer. I always played an angry man. I think it was because I used to really be like that - I was hostile. And because I had a good sense of theatrical truth, I used my anger and rebelliousness and just went with it. Anger was just a part of me.” quote by Harry Dean Stanton
