That's my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck's back. If it's not positive I didn't hear it. If you can overcome that fights are easy.

There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling and waiting for traces of blood to appear in the water.

The great watershed of modern poetry is French more than English.

Most people read poetry listening for echoes because the echoes are familiar to them. They wade through it the way a boy wades through water feeling with his toes for the bottom: The echoes are the bottom.

No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers.

I have a lot of plants and fish and a pet lizard and Venus flytraps. I have a whole ecosystem in my room like a running waterfall and different lights and sensors set on digital timers.

Water is always a support or a healing thing apart from you know love or peace of mind.

When resources are degraded we start competing for them whether it is at the local level in Kenya where we had tribal clashes over land and water or at the global level where we are fighting over water oil and minerals.

A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.

I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person if I live to be an old person. The water I miss and the air there's something different about it. And I miss the simple life.

Because of the Thames I have always loved inland waterways - water in general water sounds - there's music in water. Brooks babbling fountains splashing. Weirs waterfalls tumbling gushing.

Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.
