I once had a boyfriend who couldn't write unless he was wearing a necktie and a dress shirt which I thought was really weird because this was a long time ago and no one I knew ever wore dress shirts let alone neckties it was like he was a grown-up reenacter or something.

A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst he has the company of a boy a youth and by and by a grown man - the one he used to be.

I have grown up alone. I've taken care of myself. I worked earned money and was independent at 18.

To be perfectly honest I think that as I'm growing older I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is.

We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.
