At every crossroad, be prepared to bump into wonder.

I like things which appear fragile but are tough inside.

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.

Most poets in their youth begin in adolescent sadness. I find it more rewarding to end in gladness.

Acclaim is a distraction.

Being identified as a poet in France or Denmark or India one is greeted with gracious respect.

My films are an extension of my poetry, using the white screen like the white page to be filled with images.
