Gang Quotes
-
I wanted the attention I missed at home, so I became the leader of a gang. That way, I got attention and was recognized as being important.

I'm in a funny position: I've been in one band in my life and that was with my brother.

It's like being in a street gang: you all wear the same leather jacket or whatever.
