If you're going to write, write one poem all your life, let nobody read it, and then burn it. This is very young thinking, I confess, but it is the seminal part of my life.

I resist all established beliefs. My religion basically is to be immediate, to live in the now.

I resist all established beliefs. My religion basically is to be immediate, to live in the now. It's an old cliche, I know, but it's mine. I envy people of faith. I'm incapable of believing in anything supernatural. So far, at least. Not that I wouldn't like to. I mean, I want to believe. I do pray. I pray to something ... up there. I have a God sense. It's not religious so much as superstitious. It's part of being human, I guess ... Do unto others: How much deeper into religion do we really need to go?

There was a period when I just wanted to make what I wanted to make and I didn't care what lie I had to tell.

I do pray. I pray to something...up there. I have a God sense. It's not religious so much as superstitious. It's part of being human, I guess.

I would never complain about my life, even though I really would like to have a mate.

I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.
