About Me

I'm always terribly disappointed when I've finished a painting. I'm terribly excited when I paint: it's can be this marvellous; it's going to be this; going to be that; full of this; colour's exquisite. And of course when they're finished I can't tell you how disappointing they are. And this is why I like to keep them. After a while I grow accustomed to them. And then I can forgive them for being full of their faults. (RIP Beryl Cook)

The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.

Stop looking through scrapbooks and photograph albums, because I know they can’t teach you what you don’t already know; you’ve always been dissatisfied.

Latchmere's got a wave machine.

Whoever you think is watching you dance from across the room, they aren't. If anything, they feel sorry for you because you try so hard.

Thou shalt not judge a book by it's cover. Thou shalt not judge Lethal Weapon by Danny Glover.

Hold me, tiny friend, before my heart breaks.

Oh man, remember concerts, those things we used to go to before the days of downloading convinced us that we should just stay inside and half-digest records recommended to us by blogs we discovered by Googling celebrity crotch shots?
