Most poets in their youth begin in adolescent sadness. I find it more rewarding to end in gladness.
My major aim in writing is to set out flags and issue wake-up calls.
If you don't fill your days with love, you are wasting your life.
I tried to stir the imagination and enthusiasms of students to take risks, to do what they were most afraid of doing, to widen their horizons of action.
I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.
I consider my films to be poems that are all as personal as my writing and as hand-made.
