“I think it is important not to lose the idea that we’re all reliant on each other and interconnected. What I am trying to say is that when you get on the Tube, if you ask the person who sells you the ticket how they are and they’re like, ‘I’m good, how’s your day?’, that exchange feeds you and feeds them. You get so much out of that in terms of feeling there is a purpose. Rather than always thinking how I can achieve the best for me.”
“You are the last drink I never should have drunk You are the body hidden in the trunk You are the habit I can’t seem to kick You are my secrets on the front page every week You are the car I never should have bought You are the train I never should have caught You are the cut that makes me hide my face You are the party that makes me feel my age You’re like a car crash I can see but I just can’t avoid Like a plane I’ve been told I never should board Like a film that’s so bad, but I’ve just got to stay ‘til the end Let me tell you now - it’s lucky for you that we’re friends”
“I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited.”
When we are no longer children, we are already dead. - Damien Hirst
I’m reading Patti Smith’s memoirs, Just Kids and I’m so taken with the story about her relationship with  Robert Mapplethorpe. They seem like fictional characters from a novel, so unique, lovable and legendary. Do such love/friendship stories still exist?…If you haven’t read it, what are you waiting for??
“Just because you love Fashion doesn’t mean you’re fake. Just because you love Art, doesn’t mean you’re painting over your flaws.”
“Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there - I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.”
Life’s starting to get good again Jared Followill replied to me on Twitter TWICE yesterday. I had the best day at work today, managing to make teenagers interested in reading (and acting!) Shakespeare. It was a riot, plus: they learned something! I’m making lots of new friends and business contacts. I have something REALLY GREAT AND GOOD up my sleeve. I can’t wait to share it with everybody on here, on Twitter and on Facebook. So yeah, life has finally stopped sucking! It’s official: the tragedy is over!!!
