I never really liked poetry readings; I liked to read poetry by myself, but I liked singing, chanting my lyrics to this jazz group.

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

Nothing can stop you from thinking. The human mind is designed to think continually.

Maybe there's a god above but the only thing I learned from love was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you.

A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
