“… This seems to be considered my key image… It’s fake violence, a parody. I asked the boy to point the gun at me and then look tough. He did, and then we both laughed… [I see it] as a double self-portrait. I was both the street kid trying to look tough, and the timid, good little boy on the right.”
Boy, it was wild. Wild in the early days, yeah. I have seen his clothes completely torn off, his shoes gone…just scratched all over and bleeding. Just wild fans, you know. Really don’t mean to hurt him, but just wanted a part of his clothes or something. - Vernon Presley.
