• "If my father were alive today, I don't know what I would do. After he died, I used to think, `God, just give him to me alive for eight seconds because I want to break his jaw.'"
• "The more sensitive you are, the more likely you are to be brutalised, develop scabs and never evolve. Never allow yourself to feel anything because you always feel too much."
• "Would people applaud me if I were a good plumber?"
• "I put on an act sometimes, and people think I'm insensitive. Really, it's like a kind of armour because I'm too sensitive. If there are two hundred people in a room and one of them doesn't like me, I've got to get out."
• "I don't want to spread the peanut butter of my personality on the mouldy bread of the commercial press."
