Idol has pretty much taken me out of my recording and out of my choreography. I have managed to slip in some choreography jobs. And I've been writing songs for other artists. The Queen's intelligence network is a hell of a lot better than anyone's in this palace. Bar none. She knows everything. I don't know how she does it. And she sees everything.

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment. Looking back, video game design seems a natural fit, although there was no such thing when I was growing up. I built a Tic-Tac-Toe playing machine in my teens which went up in smoke on the night it was scheduled to go to a science fair. It's amazing to me that people have any interest in such a low-level sex scandal. If I were sleeping with a congressman, maybe, but I'm a nobody and the people I'm writing about are nobodies. But contrary to what some people seem to think, I was never a bully. I was just a hard man. I can remember a reporter asking me for a quote, and I didn't know what a quote was. I thought it was some kind of soft drink. A concept is stronger than a fact. We do not need to be shoemakers to know if our shoes fit, and just as little have we any need to be professionals to acquire knowledge of matters of universal interest.

I certainly have no plans to leave London. It's a great town. A good government may, indeed, redress the grievances of an injured people; but a strong people can alone build up a great nation.

I guess I'll have to kill a deer. This whole force is utterly demoralized by victory. There seems to be neither head nor tail. We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences. Where does discontent start? You are warm enough, but you shiver.
