One day I decided to try to have a complete day without tea. I was quite shaken. I was quite disturbed.

People like me prove that you can survive without romance, even though you end up a bit unbalanced and you tend to argue with your own reflection.

I first bought a Buffy Sainte-Marie record when I was 12, and her music has always remained with me. In the 1960s, as a political activist, Buffy's lyrics were fearless, and I'm very grateful for all the risks that she took.

I would rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths, and that's saying something for a vegetarian.

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

Boot the grime of this world in the crotch dear.

When they bury me in a church and chuck earth on my grave, I'd like the words 'Well, at least he tried' engraved on my tombstone.
