I get a bit gloomy when it's gloomy.

I like the contrast in making something that sounds sunny but also has an element of melancholy to it.

I think I'm less gloomy than I used to be - I've got a very supportive other half.

I hate sunshine so much. I can only cope with it when it's bitterly, bitterly cold.

In '74 it was really a very gloomy atmosphere, I would say, to put it mildly.

Love prefers twilight to daylight.

I don't complain when it's sunny.

I prefer the night to the day and always stay up very late. Darkness is more peaceful, and I don't like sunshine - it hurts my eyes. When I used to live in more communal circumstances, I had to wait until everyone had gone to bed before I had the peace to write, and I still find I can get on with my writing much better at night.

People ask me to smile for the camera, but somehow it always comes out gloomy.

We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world.
