breathe danger die hair image living lost percent spent time war worth
Unting is all that's worth living for - all time is lost wot is not spent in 'unting - it is like the hair we breathe - if we have it not we die - it's the sport of kings, the image of war without its guilt, and only five-and-twenty percent of its danger

It ar'n't that I loves the fox less, but that I loves the 'ound more.

I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.
explaining because-i-can feels
I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

Everything I do has the tinge of the finite, of my own demise. At some point you either accept death or you just keep pushing it back as you get older and older. I've accepted it.

A lot of journalists give me a hard time about how I look, but I've never met a journalist I'd rather look like.

Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.
pages messages facts
I've got a Facebook page, but I've never put anything on it. I've got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I've never once sent a message. I'm there because, otherwise, someone's going to pretend to be me.

Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
listening band cures
For a period in the '90s, I felt that the Cure was massively undervalued. But there has been a paradigm shift. There's a bunch of newer bands coming up who've grown up listening to the Cure and don't understand that you're not supposed to like us.
wings waiting interviews
If you acquiesce to one interview, there's always another waiting in the wings. Also if you're interviewed repeatedly, you just start repeating yourself. I don't like to do that.
