Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.

I seem to be able to just sort of sink and slide under the radar, which is nice.

In this business you either sink or swim or you don't.

When you lose everything, and I mean everything, you sit there in this empty room in the dark, and the only person who can get you out is you.

When you're writing about people that are not very well off, you seem to see the kitchen sink. So it was a bit of a sort of cosy phrase that got used a bit too much.

I don't like to lose. I don't care where it is.

When I die, it will be a shipwreck, and as when a huge ship sinks, many people all around will be sucked down with it.

Don't shed any tears for me. I got to live a dream most people don't get to live.

I think about what's going down my sink. So I won't pour oil down my sink. I won't - if I'm cleaning a pan, I'll wipe it and bin because I've seen - I've been down sewers.

When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you're either going to sink or you're going to swim.
