I am always reading, always, and tons of things at once. I wouldn't say I'm a voracious reader, though. I never finish books that fast, because I'm always reading so many things at once.

I've read a lot more than most of the people that I know, except for one of my really close friends reads way more than I do.

For the most part, it's a world of artists that are very in their own heads.

There's so much stuff being written! Every year, how many books come out? I can't keep up, and I read a lot. It's amazing.

I feel like I give myself all day long to other people and other things, and I still seem like I have something to write once in awhile. Not often, though.

It took me awhile to not be ashamed to be a poet in the business environment, and to be a business person in the poet environment.

I'm a total bottoms-up kind of person. I like things to bubble up.
