So Unless We Form Some Kind Of Adequate Relationship To Death, We're Never Going To Live Properly, And If We Think Of It Purely As A Medical Thing, We Have Reduced Life. We Should Think Of It As Some Sort Of Mystery Which We Can Participate In Now, Not Something To Be Pushed Off To One Side Till The Last Moments.

Often Poetry, Especially The Sort Of Poetry I Write, Is Concerned With Looking At The Borders Between The Sensual And The Spiritual And Seeing Them As Divided, Equivocal, That Mystery Somehow Can Break In To The Ordinary. And We Read Poetry I Think In Part, To Gain A Sense Of That Intimacy With Things That We Can't Understand That Are Unable To Be Understood But That Buoy Up Our Lives.

In Acting, You Have To Pull From Real-life Situations, From People, To Help Develop A Character.

I Got A Dog With A Napoleon Complex. I Have A Napoleon Complex. We're Small. Anything Big That We Feel Is Threatening Us, We Want To Fight. We're Not A Pushover.

Some Sarcasm Is Best Told Simply.
