When I'm on a roll nothing makes me happier or feel more satisfied, like plugging in, life makes sense.

I didn't jump a lot of trees because I didn't like heights. I liked getting a mirror and walking around with it facing the sky. I'd imagine I was walking in the tops of the trees and falling into the sky, or walking up the stairs whilst going down.

I get a feeling, on a guitar, and I sort of mess around until something resonates with me, and then I just find that what happens is that a melody comes, and with that, words.

I'm not comfortable holidaying in other people's poverty.

Therapy is like telling your nightmares when you're a kid; they lose their power to hurt and control.

One time I completely thought I'd turned into a werewolf and was sure I could see hairs sprouting from my face. At those times I'd suddenly go very quiet and not talk to anyone, stunned from the developments, being a werewolf and all.

When I first started writing, a friend said I should be careful because I'm letting people know how to reach right in and play with my workings. And they do!
