Even Though I've Been Reasonably Well Known For Quite A Long Time, I Still Can't Get A Record On Daytime Radio Or On Mtv.

I Believe The Nme Have Deliberately Tried To Characterise Me As A Racist In A Recent Interview In Order To Boost Their Circulation. I Abhor Racism And Cruelty Of Any Kind And Will Not Let This Pass.

I Think I'm A Realist. Which People Who Don't Like Me Consider To Be Pessimism. It Isn't Pessimism At All. If I Was A Pessimist I Wouldn't Get Up, I Wouldn't Shave, I Wouldn't Watch Batman At 7:30 A.m. Pessimists Just Don't Do That Sort Of Thing.

Whenever I’d Over­hear How People Found Me To Be ‘a Bit Much’ (which Is The Gentle Way Of Say­ing The Word ‘unbear­able’), I Under­stood Why. To Myself I Would Say: Well, Yes Of Course I’m A Bit Much — If I Weren’t, I Would Not Be Lit Up By So Many Lights.

I Was Quite Advanced When I Was At School, And When I Left School It Seemed That All These Really Oafish Clods From School Were Making Tremendous Progress And Had Wonderfully Large Cars And Lots Of Money, And I Seemed To Be Constantly Waiting For A Bus That Never Came.
