Roger Mcgough quotes

Roger Mcgough
" I was put off by people at school - my cabbage wasn't as good as other people's, you know, so that put me off. "

Roger Mcgough
" I wish the word whimsical wasn't used now. "

Roger Mcgough
" I'm terrified of switching the computer on because there are so many poems. "

Roger Mcgough
" If I decide to be indecisive, that's my decision. "

Roger Mcgough
" If I do a poetry reading I want people to walk out and say they feel better for having been there - not because you've done a comedy performance but because you're talking about your father dying or having young children, things that touch your soul. "

Roger Mcgough
" If I'd written a serious poem I'd always end up making it funny, to prove to this imagined reader or listener, which would have been a fellow Liverpudlian, that I'm not better than you. "

Roger Mcgough
" Now there are people writing about real issues. It's not so safe and middle class. "

Roger Mcgough
" People can put their best poems straight onto the web. "

Roger Mcgough
" We shouldn't have got married, really. Shouldn't have got married. Too young. Not ready for it. "

Roger Mcgough
" Whereas with poetry no one has to show anybody really, and you don't have to tell anyone you're doing it. "

Roger Mcgough
" Yeah, people always seem to say I'm whimsical and anti-establishment. Sarcastic. I don't think I'm any of these things really. A bit of whimsy, maybe; sentimental, yes, I'd own up to that. "

Roger Mcgough
" Yes, you can feel very alone as a poet and you sometimes think, is it worth it? Is it worth carrying on? But because there were other poets, you became part of a scene. Even though they were very different writers, it made it easier because you were together. "

Roger Mcgough
" You will put on a dress of guilt and shoes with broken high ideals. "
