"I've got a Facebook page, but I've never put anything on it"
"My whole life I've played music for my own personal enjoyment and the idea of it becoming a machine or a business is just horrible"
"I've never regretted not having children. My mindset in that regard has been constant. I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else. Living, it's awful for me. I can't on one hand argue the futility of life and the pointlessness of existence and have a family. It doesn't sit comfortably"

Thanks so much David. Very interesting interview.
Thanks David!!!
It's great to have his thoughts on the situation in Britain. He really does get the heart of it, when he talks about the inequality to me. Love when he says 'Even I get angry'.
It makes me feel sad that he said ,living is awful for him -he just needs some of this mama to brighten his days ; )
