I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well.
The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end.
The experimental poetry thing is not my thing. It's a programme of the avant-garde: basically a refusal of the kind of poetry I write.
It's a very romantic sentiment, but to think that you would die if you didn't write, well, I would definitely choose to not write and live.
I've been writing stories since I was a kid. I love writing stories.
I think I'll always want to write and direct. I'm interested in producing and helping other people tell stories. But I'm still in love with writing and directing.
When the poet is in love, he is incapable of writing poetry on love. He has to write when he remembers that he was in love.
My message to anyone who's afraid that they can't write music when they're happy is 'Just trust the passion.' The passion can write a lot of things.
Music inspires me and puts me in the right mood, but to actually listen to it when I write - I find it gets in the way.
I wanted to write songs which I think is a different thing. I wanted to write music that is informed by folk music. The chord progressions are obvious references.
I don't listen to music when I write. I need silence.
When I'm writing music, I'm not playing a character. I'm not Alice Cooper or Gene Simmons or someone like that, who has acknowledged that they are writing music for a character.
I spent every night until four in the morning on my dissertation, until I came to the point when I could not write another word, not even the next letter. I went to bed. Eight o'clock the next morning I was up writing again.
I still haven't quite caught on to the idea of writing without dialogue. I like writing dialogue, and there's nothing wrong with dialogue in movies.
I write poems like some people sing in the bathroom.
All the films I do, I write the scripts, I direct.
I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.
If you are going to write, nothing will stop you, and if you are not going to write, nothing will make you.
I know gray areas too well. I write for silent audiences.
For some reason when I write in cursive, it's easier and flows better for me to read that when I print.
If I waited till I felt like writing, I'd never write at all.
