I wanted to make good records. But my problem is I've got a low boredom threshold, so I wanted it to look and sound different with each album, which is really tantamount to suicide, cause people lose it, they lose it - they say: 'I like that, and that's not this.'

By the time you read this last page, that- if anywhere- is the only place I will be.


Margaret Atwood
