At school there was an annual school disco and I'd be standing in my bedroom wondering what to wear for hours on end. Eventually I'd arrive at a decision that was just the most ridiculous costume you could have ever devised - I think it was probably knitted Christmas jumpers on top of buttoned-up white shirts.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

And where I excel is ridiculous sickening work ethic. You know while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working.

The 'wisdom of the crowds' is the most ridiculous statement I've heard in my life. Crowds are dumb.

Ridiculous stuff happens when I travel.

All men are somewhat ridiculous and grotesque just because they are men and in this respect artists might well be regarded as man multiplied by two. So it is was and shall be.

Generally speaking the errors in religion are dangerous those in philosophy only ridiculous.

I think that giving mindless praise is ridiculous. But I understand why parents do it. They want their kids to feel good about themselves. But parents are never going to teach their children true positive self esteem by praising everything they do.

That's the way it is with poetry: When it is incomprehensible it seems profound and when you understand it it is only ridiculous.

I published privately a collection of my serious poetry I had written over the years. I only published 50 copies which I gave to friends in a special deluxe edition. It was ridiculously expensive but I'm glad that I did it.
