I take a much more pragmatic view than many people on the Left about working with Neil Kinnock. Kinnock represents the best vehicle possible for achieving socialism now.

The practice of art isn't to make a living. It's to make your soul grow.

If I were dammed of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, mother o' mine o mother o' mine.
