I'm often reading a magazine and hearing about someone's new record, and I think: "Oh, boy, that's gonna be better than me". It's a very common thing.

the beatles were always a great band. nothing more nothing less

I would quite like to have been a 1920s writer.

When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!

It's also not unusual for writers to look backward. Because that's your pool of resources.
