Most Of The Time, Feelings Just Seem

I Get Criticized For A Lot Of What I Write About, But As Far As I'm Concerned I'm Actually Standing Up And Having A Look At What Goes On In The Minds Of Men, And I Have The Authority To Talk About It Because I'm A Man.

Cynicism And Defensiveness Are Two Things Constantly Levelled At Me. Look, I've Got Time For People, I'm Good Mannered. I Usually Find That When You're Down, Nobody Has A Bloody Minute For You. If I Was A Nobody, You Wouldn't Even Talk To Me. People, In General, Don't Like You Being Upfront And Civil. They Hate You For It. They Label You A Cynic 'cos You're Reasonable.

The Older I Get, The More I Feel Those Kinds Of Ghosts - Especially The Women In My Life - Moving Out Of The Shadows A Bit More And Becoming More Present In My Life.

Most Of The Time, Feelings Just Seem To Get In The Way. They're A Luxury For The Idle, A Bourgeois Concept. Feelings Are Overrated.

The Problem With Books, Now That I've Written One, Is That The Idea Of Adaptation Is So Much Easier Than Sitting Down To Write Something New.
