Besides me wanting to be an artist, I wanted to be a movie star.

Maybe I'll be 48 and die in the gutter in Paris.

I understood that in this small space of time we had mutually surrendered our loneliness and replaced it with trust.

The two things that constantly inspired me were books and travel.

After writing all day I go for a walk and see a piece of architecture i want to photograph and i have to take a picture and later a poem comes in my mind.

I can't judge how another person does their [music] work. Everyone has a choice and the music industry is much more open that it was when I was younger. Certain things are gone, others have developed, but everyone makes their choices. Pop music has always been about the mainstream and what appeals to the public. I don't feel it's my place to judge. I just look at things as a fan, I like or or I don't like it.

I don't feel that censorship keeps me from doing the work, though. I'm my bigger censor.
