Hemingway is my lover and Elton John is my soulmate. Simon and Garfunkel are my best buds. Agatha Christie is the sister I never had. When I'm famous, Tennyson will be my speechwriter.

 

I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights sleep, worked too long and too hard in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I’ve lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.
