Each year of life brings us nearer to our decline, but I will continue to seek a listener until I'm dead in a ditch.

Burn down the disco Hang the blessed D.J. Because the music that they constantly play It says nothing to me about my life

There's more to life than books you know, but not much more.

I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.

I have seen one or two psychiatrists. They just sit and nod and doodle.

I see myself rather like an old discarded dishrag.

And if you have five seconds to spare, I'll tell you the story of my life".
