Acclaim is a distraction.

For me, prose walks, poetry dances.

Life is adventure, not predicament.

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

Dance, vaudeville, drama, movies - as a child I loved everything that went on in a theater.

Some artists shrink from self-awareness, fearing that it will destroy their unique gifts and even their desire to create. The truth of the matter is quite opposite.

Follow your own weird.
