mother reading thinking
I went to the big Picasso retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, and I think I went to an Andy Warhol retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, too. My mother was very good at taking me to things like that. We lived in Reading, but we went on these cultural trips to London.
music regret thinking
I do sometimes think I could have done without the drugs actually; that was a waste of time, and a huge risk. But then again, there's nothing I can change, so in a way regret is pointless.
thinking people may
For some people, marriage may be very groovy. For me, it really isn't. I don't think it really is for most people anyway. Most people are not very happy.
thinking people care
I've got to where I've always wanted to be. I just feel more myself, and I've learned not to care what other people think. It's happened slowly, very slowly. But I did it.
stars thinking want
I think you have to really, really want to be a film star.
thinking people wish
I wish people didn't just think of me in the '60s. I'm not any era.
children thinking littles
I haven't got purity, and I don't think I ever did. I have always been, even as a child, a very decadent little person.
thinking drug way
I think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit.
thinking america empires
I think it's a great shame that America stopped being a republic and became an empire.
love
I'd love to play a musician in a film.
head lovers
Lovers can do what they like to me - my head is cool.
british-musician smash
I think I'm really powerful. They'll smash me, probably.
I took drugs because we all took drugs.
bought grow life love save work
I want to see my grandchildren grow up. I want to be there for my friends. I want to be able to love the person in my life. I want to work. I want to do something I've never done, which is save money. I've never bought anything. I have nothing.
