I've got some words of wisdom.

I think it's an essential fact for any performer or artist to fail as poignantly as they can succeed.

I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.

To my undying shame, I do read reviews. I don't read them all, but I like to get some kind of idea how things are going.

You can't trust an artist that just makes good records.

Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.

I don't particularly believe all love is doomed. But I guess, one is usually kinda suffering from some aborted love affair or association, rather than being at the peak of one. I think it's fairly obvious that a lot more suffering goes on in the name of love than the little happiness you can squeeze out of it.
