Come Rain Or Shine I Walk Short

Philately Is Normally A Boys' Hobby But For Some Reason It Was In Vogue At My Junior School. Between The Ages Of Eight And Ten I Collected Avidly. I'd Pore Over My Stanley Gibbons Book, Obsessively Checking My Collection's Value. I Always Hoped I'd Stumble Across A Really Valuable One, A Penny Black Or An Inverted Jenny, But It Wasn't To Be.

I Get Really Frustrated If People Don't Smile.

I Had My Autograph Down By The Age Of 13. I Used To Sign It Everywhere.

I Like The Influence Of The Macabre, But I Don't Believe In Ghosts.

I Don't Think Anyone Doubts My Motives, Really. I Do What I Do And It's Not Very Complicated. Of Course, You Might Hate The Music That I Make, But I Don't Think People Feel Threatened By Me Just Getting On With What I'm Up To.
