I can't let important policy decisions hinge on the fact that an election is coming up every 90 days.

Poetry is a sort of homecoming.

I have epiphanies all the time because I'm always thinking. I'm a thinker. I'm always writing poetry I'm always coming to conclusions.

The poetry community here has been extraordinarily welcoming.

Dealing with poetry is a daunting task simply because the reason one does it as an editor at all is because one is constantly coming to terms with one's own understanding of how to understand the world.

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat I am sure could walk on a cloud without coming through.

Actually I feel music becoming more and more important. It's a big source of inspiration. With what's going on in the world we feel almost desperate. Music also brings you peace.

Now people all across America are starting to believe in America again. We are coming back back to the heights of greatness back to America's proud role as a temple of justice and a champion of peace.

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it everything fades away: your worries your problems your thoughts. They fade into the smoke and the cigar and you are at peace.

An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.

Loki in 'Thor' is the most incredible springboard into a sort of excavation of the darker aspects of human nature. So that was thrilling coming back knowing that I'd built the boat and now I could set sail into choppier waters.

Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued we would need no zoos at all.

I knew of course that trees and plants had roots stems bark branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

Music is a language and different people who come along are each using that language to do something different but all coming at it in a similar vein inasmuch as it's always community based and for the most part nonprofit. Most bands don't ever come within a mile of profit - clearly these people are not playing music to make money.

I remember when I was coming up the music stores where you could get guitar strings was where I got my records from. Now the place where you get your records from is where you can get your DJ mats and your mixers.

The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting any more than it has any reason for ending.

My music must reflect whatever's going on in my mind and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I'm becoming.

I supply the music for Vampires which is a new series that's coming out.

Music's not like becoming a doctor who can walk into a community and find people who need him.

Coming Home had been made before and Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter different kinds of movies.

Here's the thing about movies all movies end up on television. That's their life. Whether you like it or not I don't care how much money you spend on it or how big or broad the film is or who the actors are in it eventually it's all coming out of the box.

I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.

When I meet gay fans out and about they're so great to talk to - and I'm big on hugging because I'm from the Midwest. They're just so energetic and loving. I'm proud to have those fans and their support means a lot to me. I don't want just girls coming to my movies I want guys to come too!

The movies and the parts I'm being offered are becoming better and better.
