My reputation as a ladies' man was a joke. It caused me to laugh bitterly through the 10,000 nights I spent alone.
My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico García Lorca.
The older I get, the surer I am that I'm not running the show.
I was born in a suit.
I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That's what sitting on your ass does to your face.
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
