- No one will ever be able to read a book by me, or see me in a film, or,read about me robbing a bank without seeing me first as a rock singer.

- I just found this world a hard place to be good in,’ says Bunny, then he closes his eyes and, with an expiration of breath, goes still.
- There are those who work so they can stop. Stopping is the why of work.
- Out of sorrow entire worlds have been builtOut of longing great wonders have been willed,The boy will grow older, and over time there will be other songs – not many – ten or maybe twenty in a lifespan, that stand apart from the rest of the music he will discover. He will realise as he grows older still, and crosses the Canadian border and drives down into Seattle, that not only are these songs holy or sacred, they are hiding songs – what the Aztec Indians call carrion songs – that deal exclusively in darkness, obfuscation, concealment and secrecy.

- 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 the idea never becomes apparent until you do it.
- If you look around, complacency is the great disease of your autumn years, and I work hard to prevent that.
- My father was a teacher and my mother also worked in the school, so the family has a background in education.
- The concept of God in America is very different than it is in England. Because we see the horrendous outcome of religion as being an American thing, in which the name of God has been hijacked by a gang of psychopaths and bullies and homophobes, and the name of God has been used for their own twisted agendas.
