"I love to laugh and play and have fun. Do I have some of that bad boy in me? Hell, yeah. There's definitely an intense anger that I have inside, and I don't know where it came from. I've had it all my life. My mom was always like, 'You're going to end up in jail with that temper!' Now I use that to help me."
