I try to be funny and not ignorant.

My daughter has impressions that she does of me.

I think poetry can be a kind of secular way in which people can be led to approach the difficult parts of their life, where there's been loss, where there's sadness of a deep kind. If poetry can help people to be more at ease in expressing even to themselves a lot of the darkness and pain of ordinary human existence, then it's serving some kind of cultural role, perhaps more than a cultural role, perhaps it is serving something of a spiritual role.

I was always big on laughs, giving and receiving. It wasn't necessarily good for my teachers. Of course there's times where you go too far. My mom had to tell me, "Boy, if I have to come down to this school one more time, you're gonna get it."

There's actually a lot of bullshit in my Google search. They killed me in one of them! I died in one of my Google searches.

Hard work and determination equals success. Nothing comes easy. Put your mind to something.

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