Our lives are short and everything sort of regresses to the mean.

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

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 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.

In general, I find that poets spend a lot of time thinking about themselves, and not a lot of time thinking about other poets, or other poetry. Unless they think about how it affects them, or how it could impact them.

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

I can't help but go against the grain, I suppose it is in my fabric to be a rule-breaker.
