I'm not a very nostalgic person. I don't really look at the past and summon up regrets, or self-congratulations, it just is not a mechanism that operates very strongly in me. So I neither have regrets nor occasions for self-congratulations.

Journalists, especially English journalists, were very cruel to me. They said I only knew three chords when I knew five!

As the mist leaves no scar On the dark green hill So my body leaves no scar On you and never will

I'm planning a catastrophe.

It's been a long time since I've stood on a stage in London. Was about 14 or 15 years ago, I was 60 years old, just a kid with a crazy dream. Since then I've taken a lot of Prozac, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Ritalin, Focalin. I've also studied deeply in the philosophies and the religions, but cheerfulness kept breaking through.

Love is a fire/It burns everyone/It disfigures everyone/It is the world's excuse for being ugly.

From bitter searching of the heart, quickened with passion and with pain we rise to play a greater part this is the faith from which we start.
