I started off in England and very few people knew I was Australian. I mean the clues were in the poems but they didn't read them very carefully and so for years and years I was considered completely part of the English poetry scene.

Well probably I was fed up with concrete poetry. There was a lot of bad concrete poetry and besides it was confused with visual poetry which was completely different.

The sources of poetry are in the spirit seeking completeness.

Poetry being the sign of that which all men desire even though the desire be unconscious intensity of life or completeness of experience the universality of its appeal is a matter of course.

I've done a number of readings at poetry lounges in Vancouver and Los Angeles. I've compiled a book of poetry that's completed and two others I'm working on.

My obsession with time informs my poetry so completely it is hard for me to summarize it. We want time to pass for new things to happen to us we want to hold on to certain moments we don't want our lives to end.

The completely solitary self: that's where poetry comes from and it gets isolated by crisis and those crises are often very intimate also.

I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era completely throw the poem into a different time scale.

The drama is complete poetry. The ode and the epic contain it only in germ it contains both of them in a state of high development and epitomizes both.

A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.

At the end the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time that she had to kind of live it completely through instead of living by the rules.

There is always a certain peace in being what one is in being that completely.

Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

What lingers from the parent's individual past unresolved or incomplete often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting.

I feel very blessed to have two wonderful healthy children who keep me completely grounded sane and throw up on my shoes just before I go to an awards show just so I know to keep it real.

It is impossible to imagine a more complete fusion with nature than that of the Gypsy.

Consistency is contrary to nature contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.

The moral virtues then are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature indeed prepares in us the ground for their reception but their complete formation is the product of habit.

It was stumbling on to really the bible of the blues you know and a very powerful drug to be introduced to us and I absorbed it totally and it changed my complete outlook on music.

All my concerts had no sounds in them they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!

Even from a listening end now I'm still completely a fan of music.

I met Prince William at a musical festival and he let me know he was a fan of my music. But the invitation to sing at his wedding reception came completely out of the blue. The fact that Kate and William knew the words to my songs was very touching.

We're five people five individuals who came together to create something to make music and to complete each other musically to form a perfect circle.
