I'm far too middle-class to morally object to a paying job..

Nothing good comes out of depression..

The hills of one’s youth are all mountains.

Yes. I've been asked to pose nude, but I never have, and I probably never will..

So many see themselves as aggrieved; so few see themselves as aggrievers..

Most poets in their youth begin in adolescent sadness. I find it more rewarding to end in gladness..

Jen, we did it. Everyone's free now..

Nothing good ever comes without a price..

Being a good host offsets the deprivation and loneliness of my youth.

You can't get it right, until you make it wrong..

I am a writer, not a transcriber..

Go big, or go home. Otherwise, you’re wasting your youth..

I've lived my life dealing with everybody. And that's how it's always been for me..

I'm voraciously looking to express myself in my work. I love my work..

Frankly, once I've eaten a thing, I don't expect to see it again..

When I sing, I always relive a part of my life..

On its own, having escaped my grasp, the spool I had loosed was unwinding..

Old age hath stronger sense of right than youth..

Will loved to gallop..

Neither fear nor resist change - cultivate it..

Africa is on the rise..
