I earn more than I thought I would when I became a poet

And no reason to talk about the books I read but I still do

Don’t leave it all unsaid

Well, I wouldn’t object to being approached, put it that way

They said they respect me, which means, their judgment is crazy

If you really concentrate on the Top 40 there aren’t really that many striking individuals so it is rather easy within that block to be anarchic

Artists aren’t really people. And I’m actually 40 per cent papier mache

I find agreeable people immensely disagreeable

I was always attracted to people with the same problems as me. It doesn’t help when most of them are dead

Am I looking in the mirror?

Any fool can think of words that rhyme

There are some bad people on the rise

Sell all of your clothes

We hate it when our friends become successful

The traditional viewpoint is to scowl, but I don’t understand that

Rejection is one thing – but rejection from a fool is cruel

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