I have a really low boredom threshold.

I'm simply pointing out that what happens to us isn't the whole story. That I continue to exist even when we're not together.

The truth about life was that nothing ever ended until you died, and even then you just left a whole bunch of unresolved narratives behind you.

I fell in love with football as I was later to fall in love with women: suddenly, inexplicably, uncritically, giving no thought to the pain or disruption it would bring with it.

To me, making a tape is like writing a letter – there's a lot of erasing and rethinking and starting again, and I wanted it to be a good one.

Sequels are very rarely a good idea, and in any case, the success of the book changed my relationship with the club in some ways.

We get together with people because they're the same or because they're different, and in the end we split with them for exactly the same reasons.
