You're pretending this isn't your life. You think it's going to happen some other time. When you're dead you'll realise you were alive now.

We’ve got ninety-nine per cent the same genes as any other person. We’ve got ninety per cent the same as a chimpanzee. We’ve got thirty per cent the same as a lettuce. Does that cheer you up at all? I love about the lettuce. It makes me feel I belong.

You make beauty and it disappears, I love that.

England that little gray island in the clouds where governments don't fall overnight and children don't sell themselves in the street and my money is safe.

People aren't evil and people aren't good. They live how they can one day at a time. They come out of dust they go back to dust, dusty feet, no wings, and whose fault is that?

You can't win every week.
