Well the great thing for me about poetry is that in good poems the dislocation of words that is to say the distance between what they say they're saying and what they are actually saying is at its greatest.

I'm not precisely saying that a really good board meeting at the MLA (Museums Libraries and Archives Coucil) makes me want to go and write poetry but there is a pleasure in doing that sort of thing well.

Poetry is simply the most beautiful impressive and widely effective mode of saying things.

I have nothing to say I am saying it and that is poetry.

As an actor there is room for a certain amount of creativity but you're always ultimately going to be saying somebody else's words. I don't think I'd have the stamina skill or ability to write a novel but I'd love to write short stories and poetry because those are my two passions.

I am two fools I know for loving and for saying so in whining poetry.

There's a saying. If you want someone to love you forever buy a dog feed it and keep it around.

All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Winter is nature's way of saying 'Up yours.'

Spring is nature's way of saying 'Let's party!'
