All really great artists, Jackson Pollack, John Cage, Beckett or Joyce - you are never indifferent to them.
I don't know many singers who actually do like the sound of their own voice.
I'm inclined to think that, because it's such an awful life, that politicians do go into it for the best reasons. I mean, some may love the sound of their own voice. But it's such a wearying life, you've got to be impelled by some desire to leave the world a better place than when you came into it.
