Murakami and Anger

Takashi Murakami, excerpted from his book The Art Entrepreneurship Theory, in an old article on artnet: 

"Why am I constantly angry like a bulldog? ... Anger invariably spills out of me. I don't want to remain the way I am - that discontent drives me much more than my passion for success. ... I don't have a logical explanation for this, but I wonder if 'anger' is what you need to continue expressing yourself."
