I love Tom [Waits] for the same reason I love Leonard Cohen, which is that they are both one-offs, templates they both seemed old, or at least dressed old when they were young both kind of lived their careers backwards.

More quotes by Sylvie Simmons
Not so much that I wanted to give up rock writing, but I also wanted to try something new. So I moved to a crumbling stately heap on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere in southwest France, about 60 miles from Bordeaux: wine instead of cocaine.
Sylvie Simmons
The difference between fiction and journalism is that you can disguise the characters, so you won't get your legs broken, and there's no interview tapes to transcribe.
