I know how ridiculous this sounds because of the job I do but I don't believe in romanticism and make-believe.

I like living in the city, but I like being able to get out of it as and when I like.

I think I'll feel out of place wherever I go on earth, forever. But that's fine. I have to make my peace with that.

I definitely tell things at arm's length but that is conscious. No part of me wants everybody to know what's going on.

I think your most intimate thoughts are only honest when they're in your head.

I remember my father playing me Same Situation when I was a nipper, and saying how nobody since has done melodies as well as Joni Mitchell. I concur. The thing that most affected me was just her resonance, and that is something she must have been born with.

I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often, cynicism is confused with wisdom, and my scorn is confused with a knowing, which I don't have.
