When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

For me, life is writing and I can do it anywhere. It doesn't matter where I am. I listen. I write. I live.

Everything written is as good as it is dramatic. It need not declare itself in form, but it is drama or nothing.

Talking is a hydrant in the yard and writing is a faucet upstairs in the house. Opening the first takes the pressure off the second.

Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.

I write to find out what I didn't know I knew.
