Even the worst book can give us something to think about. ↗

Each of us has a very rich nature and can look at things objectively, from a distance, and at the same time can have something more personal to say about them. I am trying to look at the world, and at myself, from many different points of view. I think many poets have this duality. ↗

I cannot speak for more than an hour exclusively about poetry. At that point, life itself takes over again. ↗

I don't believe I have a mission. Sometimes I really have a spiritual need to say something more general about the world, and sometimes something personal. ↗

Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration, but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation. ↗

Unfortunately, poetry is not born in noise, in crowds, or on a bus. There have to be four walls and the certainty that the telephone will not ring. That's what writing is all about. ↗

You know, I'm worried about Szymborska. I wish she would stop smoking. ↗

I started writing rhymes first and then put it to the music. I figured out I could lock it to the beat better if I heard the music first. I like to get a lot of tracks, put the track up and let the music talk to me about what it's about. ↗

Well, the first and only time I went hunting, I shot a deer, and it mortified me. I just couldn't do it again. But I know a lot about guns, so I go to the gun range and stuff like that with friends sometimes. ↗
