I was told my whole life, you're fat, you're ugly, you're never going to amount to be anything.
I remember wearing overcoats, hiding in the bushes outside of Abbey Road Studios, waiting for the traffic to clear. As it did, we would drop our overcoats and run out on to the cross walk and strike our poses.
If I were brave enough to say so, I'd like to think that I had written some poems that people are not going to forget.
