For the first time in my life the eternal 'I' becomes 'we', as, finally, I can get on with someone.

If met Vic Reeves, I'd have no desire other than to smack him in the face.

The more you ignore me, the closer I get; you're wasting your time.

Satan rejected my soul; as low as he goes, he never quite goes this low.

As a very small child I found recorded noise and the solitary singer beneath the spotlight so dramatic and so brave... walking the plank... willingly... It was sink or swim. The very notion of standing there, alone, I found beautiful.

I am stuck in the dream of an album that sells well not because of marketing, but because people like the songs.

I think I'm a realist. Which people who don't like me consider to be pessimism. It isn't pessimism at all. If I was a pessimist I wouldn't get up, I wouldn't shave, I wouldn't watch Batman at 7:30 a.m. Pessimists just don't do that sort of thing.
