Life's full of tricky snakes and ladders.

I was never young. This idea of fun: cars, girls, saturday night, bottle of wine... to me, these things are morbid. I was always attracted to people with the same problems as me. It doesn't help when most of them are dead.

Even though I've been reasonably well known for quite a long time, I still can't get a record on daytime radio or on MTV.

I'm fascinated by people in their eighties and nineties. Especially those who are still creating and living in an interesting way. I am fascinated by them because they have so much to say now that they've lived for so long.

God, come down, if you're really there - Well, you're the one who claims to care!

The fire in the belly is essential, otherwise you become Michael Buble - famous and meaningless.

I don't mind if you forget me. Having learned my lesson, I never left an impression on anyone.
