To the people that lost

I'm not a gracious winner, and Tina is not a legally acceptable discussion anymore. Given the drafting documents, given the time-stamps, Amanda Riddell won her case. To Christopher Luxon: I have no idea what happened at the tangihanga, and frankly I don't really give a shit. What the hell were you doing there in the first place, you trollop?


Stop telling me that you've seen my balls when there isn't a shred of proof.


You made me dig up my fucking notebooks to keep using my chosen name, you dickhead, so accept my satire. Sledging, that's what National is doing now.


Act as well.


That's why question time is so hostile. Dog whistles and chauvinism.

The coalition is behaving like an Aussie cricket team, and Gerry needs to eject Winston and David, rather than threatening lefties.

It's all intimidation and baiting and all that nasty bs that old boys do.


Don't pretend like we're mates. I know you hate me. - To Cassandra Tse: Grow up and write your own bloody music. If that requires improving your skills, do so. You could easily take private composition lessons, and that's what you want: you want to be the clever sod like Sondheim that masters counterpoint. That requires upping your game as a musician. I'm a world-class musician, and you're the one surprised to find I'm also a better lyricist because you thought I was a retard.

To Tory: Well, you didn't take my safe consumption centre idea seriously, so I honestly wonder if you have any skin in the game at all regarding drugs (other than using them).


You're telling me to make a film based on a script that's all about drugs, but then to cut out those references, because that would be seen to encourage consumption.


If you and your creative mates want to make Pose, do so. Leave me out of it.

I can't believe you let them spend 2 years trying to force me to give my script to VUW. -


To Nadine: Well, I don't feel much guilt. I did what I did, and most of that was about my career.


I like Chloe, but honestly there were a lot of relationships that were more real than that over the six years of the documentary.


Definitely think you illegally accessed my PC. That's why I'm not feeling much guilt.

To Owen: Mate, stop telling me to be a guy.

To Marama: Well, I think that my enemies brought it on themselves, and I appreciate your support.

It's amazing how the cartoons really managed to hurt the feelings of the MPs, and that's possibly why I'm so keen to keep making them!


I've got lots of mixed messages from people: first it was that I should move to Porirua like my brother, then it was I should come back and revitalise the town, then it was that I should go to jail, unless I revitalise Wellington.


People became irrational in the face of my stubborn insistence that I had rights.



To VUW:


Give up on me. Give up on exploiting me. Give up on harnessing me. Give up on improving me. I'm fine with my limitations; at least my music is emotionally honest.
