Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.

I don't decide. My secret self decides. I just go with my subconscious. If it wants to do a poem, I do a poem, and if it wants to do a play, I do a play. So I'm not in charge, I'm not in control.

If you did not write every day, the poisons would accumulate and you would begin to die, or act crazy or both-you must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

Putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun.

The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.

Books are flesh-and-blood ideas and cry out, silently, when put to the torch.

My goal is to entertain myself and others.
