I've never been interested in being relevant.

I'm not a misogynist, so you can dispense with that. I think I've done wonders for the feminist movement.

You don't meet a lot of people that you really like. I don't anyway.

I have to be able to see the thing that's going on that I'm writing about, or else it just doesn't make any sense to me.

My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I'm quite like that in real life as well.

It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.

An audience is the perfect thing to unleash venom and hate on. It doesn't necessarily mean you hate everyone in the audience but when you've got a so-called adoring mass in front of you, it's a perfect target for that kind of disgust. Sometimes you find yourself in a position where you're venting your disgust on an audience and a lot of them keep coming back 'cos they actually like that aspect. In a way that diffuses the feeling and you don't gel the same release.
