Left to my own devices I'd get up at midday every day of my life.

I lead a very boring life.

Sunday evenings often feel like the weekend is over before it's even begun.

I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, Nick Drake or Bob Dylan.

It's funny, I listen to friends who talk about back when they were 14, eight, 16, whatever, as if it was yesterday. Me, I've no idea what I did. It's all a blur, I'm afraid.

Shake off the self-pity, shake off the defeat and get ready for God to do something new. He is going to pay you back for every injustice.

Our expensive welfare state is fueled by the destructive notion that 'greed' is when you want to keep your own money but 'compassion' is when you want to take somebody else's.

You can really help support a character if you understand the setting. So for that reason I generally write about Philadelphia.

Life here with the things of the earth is a sinking, a defeat, a failing of the wing.

Everyone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself.

Leaders do stuff that matters.

Fight your imperfections imagining that you are the worst, so you can perform as the best.
