Disappointment came to me, and booted me, and bruised and hurt me, but that's how people grow up.

I have an unswayable obsession with death. If there was a magical pill that one could take that would retire you from the world, I would take it.

Rejection is one thing - but rejection from a fool is cruel.

I always thought my genitals were the result of some crude practical joke.

Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age.

These tears I'm wailing, I spill not without reason. Remove them, my dearest love. Take me to the place I've been dreaming of, where the grotesquely lonely meet the grotesquely lonely and they whisper, just very softly, Please be mine, Dearest Love.

Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.
