And now South Africa has finally woken up and it is doing great things. And if South Africa becomes the template to what AIDS is in the sub-Saharan continent, then all the other countries are going to follow suit. And Michel Sidibe, who spoke at the breakfast meeting this morning, was saying that there is so much hope for Africa now that South Africa has got its house in order.

I used to get my money at the end of the week, buy my mum something, or buy a record, and that was it.

I had to learn how to function as a human being. And I really enjoyed that process.

I wasn't involved in anything. I wasn't out - you know, I know I wasn't in ACT UP. I wasn't with Larry Kramer. I wasn't by his side. I wasn't saying what I should do, because, by all accounts, I was a drug addict and an alcoholic. And I was living in a complete bubble of self-absorption.

Laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder, under the covers, and I guess that's why they call it the blues.

I've only been interested in the artistic side of life.

If there's a God in heaven, what's he waiting for? If He can't hear the children, then he must see the war.
