Let children come across good as well as bad things. MTV is unnecessarily criticised for dishing out obscenity.
A lot of times, I'm singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.
I often obsess so much about things that I can't get done, that I ruin other things.

I have rituals for cleaning out resentments, disappointments, heartbreak, depression and for work. One of the things I do is go over old stuff if I have been unable to write for a while.
Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor.
One of the brilliant things about Britain is the way you've managed to save old things but to keep using them - that they've not just become museums the way they do in the United States.
I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.
