“I don't like myself very much as a person, but I'm proud of what I create.”

“Now this might disturb you, but I find I'm OK by myself;and I don't need you or your benevolence to make sense.”

“Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well.”

“These tears I'm wailing,I spill not without reason.Remove them, my dearest love.Take me to the place I've been dreaming of,where the grotesquely lonely meet the grotesquely lonelyand they whisper,just very softly,Please be mine, Dearest Love.”

“I was wasting my life, always thinking about myself.”

“I know by now you think I should have straightened myself out - Thank you, drop dead!”
