That's the motivation of an artist - to seek attention of some kind.

I think it surprises a lot of people that I'm still around, you know, still - that I'm not pushing up daisies, as they say.

Photographers and reporters are mostly after me. They want to know what I read and what I'm like and I don't really know myself, so how can I tell them?

If I were to try to identify a turning point I'd say that was it - getting clean.

Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I love you, yes I do.

O, it's enough to be on your way. It's enough just to cover ground. It's enough to be moving on. Home: better build it behind your eyes. Carry it in your heart, Safe among your own.

I'm looking forward to being able to retire from being a public figure and being able to afford to be myself!
