I'm regarded quite asexually by a lot of people. And the people that understand me the best are nearer to what I understand about me.

I'm not a natural performer. I don't like performing very much.

Elvis is English, and climbs the hills. Can't tell the bullshit from the lies.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

I really wanted to do, more than anything else, up until I was around 16, 17, was write musicals.

I think the only music I didn't listen to was country and western, and that holds to this day.

I had enormous self-image, problems and very low self-esteem, which I hid behind obsessive writing and performing. It's exactly what I do now except I enjoy it now. I'm not driven like I was in my twenties. I was driven to get through life very quickly.
