I like things which appear fragile but are tough inside.

I had a toy theater and a magic lantern, and when I was eight I built a stage for theatricals in the attic.

Life's major challenge: getting reborn often enough.

At every crossroad, be prepared to bump into wonder.

Most poets, like most people, try hard to be like someone they admire or they are possessed with an image of what they ought to be.

And to Shakespeare I owe my vision of the world as a theater, wherein all humans are acting out their parts.

I'm happy to report that my inner child is still ageless.
