I know that a mother, no matter how impoverished or uneducated, will do anything to save her babies.

I was well motivated. What I wanted to do was work for myself. I had twenty two jobs before I started my business at the age of twenty three and I didn't want one more boss telling me what to do. So I was motivated simply because I didn't want a boss.

I don't mind my age.

For me from a pretty young age up until about 21 years old hallucinogenics had a huge place in my life.

To be perfectly honest, I think that as I'm growing older, I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say, 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is.
