We are less lonely when we connect. Art is connection.

Favorite poems are like favorite children. We definitely have them but we never tell as the others would have their feelings hurt.

If you were a pure bolt of fire-cutting the skies I'd touch you-risking my life-not because I'm brave or strong, but because I'm fascinated by what the outcome would be.

We have a world to conquer...one person at a time...starting with ourselves.

Writers ... I think ... live on that fine line between insanity and genius.

Storytelling is how history is passed. It's what our ancestors did, it's what everybody's done. It has to come back into a story because otherwise, it's stuck in this book and it's boring and it's academic and I'm not against intelligence and I'm not against education, I don't want to be misunderstood, but we have tell the stories to our young people a little bit early and history gives us a lot of things.

Poems don't have to rhyme... Poems are about beauty and emotion; in other words poems are about feelings.
