I Don't Feel I'm Thrown Around By

Outside The World Of Politics, One Person In The World Of The Arts I Would Mention As An Influence Is Nick Cave, Another Person Who Has Been Around Since The Late 1970s. He Has Developed And Changed Remarkably, Whilst Remaining True To His Vision. He Has Been A Great Help To Me As Well, Without His Knowing It.

It Is The Haunted Premises Of Longing That The True Love Song Inhabits. It Is A Howl In The Void, For Love And For Comfort And It Lives On The Lips Of The Child Crying For His Mother. It Is The Song Of The Lover In Need Of Her Loved One, The Raving Of The Lunatic Supplicant Petitioning His God...the Love Song Is The Sound Of Our Endeavors To Become God-like, To Rise Up And Above The Earthbound And The Mediocre.

Sound Doesn't Always Have To Be Heard. Sound Can Also Be Created By How A Pattern Is Set Up On A Surface- How It Moves Across The Surface, How Light Reflects The Surface [and] Can Generate A Feeling. Sound Can Also Be Through Feeling, Through Color, Through Texture.

All Of Our Days Are Numbered. We Cannot Afford To Be Idle. To Act On A Bad Idea Is Better Than To Not Act At All, Because The Worth Of An Idea Never Becomes Apparent Until You Do It.

I Consider Myself To Be First And Foremost A Comic Writer. The Way I Entertain Myself - Especially In Those Long And Grim Hours In The Office - Is To Write Stuff I Find Funny.
