I listen to National Public Radio, which, to me at least, presents the most rounded view of things.
People expect me to be dark and gloomy, then write that I'm a jolly chap, and after all, that is what I am. I think it's a case of an absolute romantic naivety that there should be a parallel between the work and the artist.
I'm a pessimist. But I'm a pessimist with a sense of responsibility.
