Date of Birth18 November 1953
sex adventure everyday
I'd prefer to include sex scenes alongside the adventure scenes and everyday-life scenes, as if they were all part of the same thing. Which of course they are. Sex is not discrete from the rest of our existence.
art magic language
Magic and art tend to share a lot of the same language. They both talk about evocation, invocation, and conjuring.
people trying groups
It doesn't do you any service to demonize any group of people. It's much better to try and understand from the inside.
shy parades persons
I'm not a very shy person. I'm just somebody who's got a lot of work and who doesn't like to parade himself in new celebrity contexts.
talking people signing
I genuinely like the people I meet at signings or the bits of public talking that I do.
stars names space
I am watching the stars, admiring their complex trajectories through space and time. I am trying to give a name to the force that set them in motion.
I didn't really sign up to be a celebrity, I only signed up to be a writer.
war men people
Most of the people who get sent to die in wars are young men who've got a lot of energy and would probably rather, in a better world, be putting that energy into copulation rather than going over there and blowing some other young man's guts out.
vaudeville world stage
The world's a stage, & everything else is Vaudeville.
ideas people comforting
A lot of people have found the idea of living your life over and over again absolutely terrifying; there's some people that find it very comforting. There are others that are appalled by it.
stress past reality
In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagines past
regret shadow steps
I live my life free of compromise, and step into the shadows without complaint or regret.
stupid hate thinking
I thought as much. Miss Murray, though I am a beast, do not think that I am stupid. I know that I am hideous and hateful. I am not loved, nor ever hope to be. Nor am I fool enough to think that what I feel for you is love. But in this world, alone, I do not hate you. And alone in this world, you do not hate me.
kicking-it people trying
Romantic poetry had its heyday when people like Lord Byron were kicking it large. But you try and make a living as a poet today, and you'll find it's very different!
