I'd been thinking I'd have to learn how to play really well, but obviously the message of punk was that you just learn three chords in a week and you're away. ↗

For TV you also get those pre-interviews when researchers ask you what you're going to say. The pre-interview drives me insane. If they've already decided the outcome, why don't I just hand in an essay? Maybe if we talk we'll find something out. I'd rather just have an awkward pause. ↗

The thing with Disney songs is they're very manipulative, very sentimental, but they do get you, you know - there's a kind of sadness to them and that kind of music doesn't really exist any more. ↗

Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death. ↗

أنا أخبئ بين أقفاص صدري أوجاع نساء الأرض ودموع الصغار ، أنا أحمل على عاتقي خيبات ثكلى ! وفي حنجرتي تستقر حشرجة حزن مدوية .. أنا الأنثى التي تقام كل ليلة على مدائن قلبها مآتم الخذلان ! وبالرغم من ذلك الأسى المفرط .. . تبتسم وتمضي دونما إكتراث ! ↗
