People who are too uptight make me nervous.

Most people are trying to go digital, and trying to do different things with poetry. McSweeney's is going in the opposite direction - going more classic, and retro, which is all coming back.

I was sort of obsessed about corporate people committing suicide.

Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of the world, and other mornings I feel like crap.

I can't help but go against the grain, I suppose it is in my fabric to be a rule-breaker.

I am always reading, always, and tons of things at once. I wouldn't say I'm a voracious reader, though. I never finish books that fast, because I'm always reading so many things at once.

I think my way of being "funny" is just saying things that people think but have learned not to say, whereas, I haven't learned not to say them.

There's an attraction to emotional clusters or hypocrisies or awkwardness. A desire to expose something or point at something that's already poking out.

I feel like I give myself all day long to other people and other things, and I still seem like I have something to write once in awhile. Not often, though.

I think I've always felt very isolated, and I'm sure lots of poets do.

I think e-mail and social media and all that has made me feel way less isolated than ever before.

What a man need is simply and solely independence volition, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead.

Falling in love is better than standing in hate.

I like the idea of being a sculptor. Just me alone, making something - that solitary existence.

I think every actor should go back and do theater periodically.

All my life, following the warrior's code has taken me to places I was afraid to go. But always when I got there I was glad I made the journey.

There is hardly any personal defect... which an agreeable manner might not gradually reconcile one to.

Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.

Not all the snakes are poisonous and not all the poisons are deadly! Keep this in mind when bitten.

Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.
