This strong sense of who I am that I've always had, since I was very young, is what makes me write.

1977 was also, of course, the year that Derek Jarman made his iconoclastic film Jubilee, which was so much part of the punk movement.

I think the seventies caught the last red rays of the dying sun of this innocence, but were already a little cold and drab.

I went for a walk in the rain. Recently, whenever it rains, I feel like I want to go for a walk.

It's true that Eastern philosophy and religion were not unknown to me as a child, since my father has explored much in that area, and written books more or less in that area, too.

I think I'm probably too close to the seventies to be able to analyse them (it?) effectively.

Lots of things were there [in the seventies], in the social experience, but not quite named, lurking like a stranger on the edge of the playground.
