My show 'The Big House' was picked up; they flew me to New York. I'm about to step on stage to announce 's 'The Big House.' And a hand grabs my shoulder, 'Kevin no, they just decided to cancel it.' It's a serious smack-in-the-face business, and either you can take it, or you can't.

I'm good friends with Jay Leno, good friends with Ed O'Neill, Melanie Fiona and Russell Simmons.

I'm not a big politics guy.

I have good laugh every day. I enjoy life. I'm surrounded by love and positivity.

Men and women do think differently, and frankly, we don't understand each other. Not at all! But that's what makes relationships so amazing.

Often poetry, especially the sort of poetry I write, is concerned with looking at the borders between the sensual and the spiritual and seeing them as divided, equivocal, that mystery somehow can break in to the ordinary. And we read poetry I think in part, to gain a sense of that intimacy with things that we can't understand that are unable to be understood but that buoy up our lives.

My daughter doesn't even get my humor. She's like, 'Um, no. I don't get it, Dad. Mmm, no, not that one, Dad.'
