Real Street Quotes

• People think once you get famous and rich you move out of the public sphere and you have nothing left to write about.

This is what I long for, the breach of peace, the days of disarray when I walked real streets and did things slap-bang and felt angry and ready all the time, a danger to others and a distant mystery to myself.
