• I've maintained old friendships, like with people I knew in the nineteen-seventies, but have lost the knack for meeting new people. This has a lot to do with my writing schedule. I don't want to be disturbed, and the willingness to be disturbed is, I think, part of being a good friend.

  Slowly turned into a scream
  Searching for an answer
  Where the question is unseen
  I don't know where you came from
  And I don't know where you've gone
  Old friends become old strangers
  Between the darkness and the dawn

But I don't think you can deliver a role without putting something of yourself into it, and I just realised that everyday we do a little bit of acting.
