The Way I Take In The World

Music Is Storming, Driving, Relentless, Devotional, Slinky, Subtle, Heartbreakingly-beautiful Sounds That, Lyrically, Switch From The Cynical To The Sanguine, The Defeated To The Defiant, Dealing In Love, War, Beauty, Children, Romance, Rejection, Pethedine, Poetry, Panties, God, Auden, Johnny Cash, Cold Potatoes, Too-much-money, Not Enough Money, Writer’s Block, Flowers, Animals And More Flowers. But Maybe I’m Projecting Here.

Cynicism And Defensiveness Are Two Things Constantly Levelled At Me. Look, I've Got Time For People, I'm Good Mannered. I Usually Find That When You're Down, Nobody Has A Bloody Minute For You. If I Was A Nobody, You Wouldn't Even Talk To Me. People, In General, Don't Like You Being Upfront And Civil. They Hate You For It. They Label You A Cynic 'cos You're Reasonable.

I Think There's A Certain Numbness In Modern Society, That Accepts Certain Kinds Of Violence, But Represses Other Kinds Of Violence.

I Write Songs From The Point Of View I Had At A Time;i'm Not Tryingto Write Songs From A Young Person's Point Of View.that Only Ends In Disaster.

I Became A Script Writer With Absolutely No Idea Of How To Write A Script Whatsoever. I Still Feel A Bit Of An Outsider In That Regard. If I Can Maintain That Approach To Screenwriting, It Can Continue To Be Enjoyable.
