I was stuck in the feeling that one did not--was not justified in being alive unless one was fulfilling other people's dreams, whether they were contractual dreams or the public's dreams, or fulfilling my own dreams and illusions about what I thought I was supposed to be, which, in retrospect, turned out to not be what I am.

It was a choice of making it or still eating chicken onstage.

The more I see the less I know for sure.

I really had a chip on my shoulder, ... and it still comes out every now and then.

Life's what happens when you're making other plans.

I'm an Elvis fan because it was Elvis who really got me out of Liverpool.
