"I was seeking 'the colour of a good dusty potato, unpeeled of course'."

"I also don't think that it would be a hindrance if my health let me down on occasion."

"Normality is a paved road: It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it."

"I want to live in a world where there are no problems."

"The uglier, older, meaner, iller, poorer I get, the more I wish to take my revenge by doing brilliant colour, well arranged, resplendent."
