I thought it was a wonderfully conceptual act actually, to fire a replica pistol at a figurehead - the guy could have been working for Andy Warhol!

After being bombarded endlessly by road-safety propaganda it was almost a relief to find myself in an actual accident.

I feel that the surrealists have created a series of valid external landscapes which have their direct correspondences within our own minds.

Medicine was certainly intended to be a career. I wanted to become a psychiatrist, an adolescent ambition which, of course, is fulfilled by many psychiatrists.

If I don't write, I begin to feel unsettled and uneasy, as I gather people do who are not allowed to dream.

My brief stay at the hospital had already convinced me that the medical profession was an open door to anyone nursing a grudge against the human race.
