People who are too uptight make me nervous.

I think I've always felt very isolated, and I'm sure lots of poets do.

I question my own talent and ability to make creative work every single day.

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've always wanted editors that actually edited my poems.

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.

We're all just a part of this large, spiraling, constantly fluid hierarchy and changing. At some points in your life, you feel crushed by that, depending on who you come in contact with.
