The trouble with words is that you never know whose mouths they've been in.

Everything we do has consequences.

As adults, we do know more, but we don't know enough. People can be very unthinkingly callous.

Religion, you can't a handle on it, you just have to know or not know-people either believe or they don't believe.

I also believe in cigarettes, cholesterol, alcohol, carbon monoxide, masturbation, the Arts Council, nuclear weapons, the Daily Telegraph, and not properly labeling fatal poisons, but above all else, most of all, I believe in the one thing that can come out of people's mouths: vomit.

I think childhood is to everyone a lost land.

Some of the words and symbols and images from childhood will continually be part and parcel of my personality.
