Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of the world, and other mornings I feel like crap.

I've always done things that were good for me, whether they were viewed as being as prestigious or whatever.

I was sort of obsessed about corporate people committing suicide.

As I published books, I realized, that's not really what I want. I don't care about the books as much anymore. I just want to write poetry.

I do think that given my background as a poet, and also I work in a different field, you're sort of neither here nor there.

Whether people like your work or not, but it's also based on a lot of other things - geography, who you happen to connect with and where they sit in that ladder - and all of that felt really isolating and disheartening to me when I figured it out.

People who are too uptight make me nervous.
