I always had a repulsive sort of need to be something more than human.

I was told that it was cool to fall in love, and that period was nothing like that to me. I gave too much of my time and energy to another person and they did the same to me and we started burning out against each other. And that is what is termed love.

Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you're pretty much on the way out.

There's a good television programme called 'Disco 2.' It's quite good but again it's average, average. It's all on a down play.

They don't realize when they talk like that, then that is what they represent - absolutely.
