We shouldn't have got married, really. Shouldn't have got married. Too young. Not ready for it.

I wish the word whimsical wasn't used now.

People can put their best poems straight onto the web.

Yes, you can feel very alone as a poet and you sometimes think, is it worth it? Is it worth carrying on? But because there were other poets, you became part of a scene. Even though they were very different writers, it made it easier because you were together.

You will put on a dress of guilt and shoes with broken high ideals.

Whereas with poetry no one has to show anybody really, and you don't have to tell anyone you're doing it.

If I do a poetry reading I want people to walk out and say they feel better for having been there - not because you've done a comedy performance but because you're talking about your father dying or having young children, things that touch your soul.

We shouldn't have got married, really. Shouldn't have got married. Too young. Not ready for it.

If I decide to be indecisive, that's my decision.

I'm terrified of switching the computer on because there are so many poems.

I was put off by people at school - my cabbage wasn't as good as other people's, you know, so that put me off.

We each have our hiding places and we each put up with the little quirks of the people we love.

Humans make errors. We make errors of fact and errors of judgment. We have blind spots in our field of vision and gaps in our stream of attention. Sometimes we can't even answer the simplest questions.

Too many ads that try not to go over the reader's head end up beneath his notice.

At the constitutional level where we work, 90 percent of any decision is emotional. The rational part of us supplies the reasons for supporting our predilections.

Dinosaur Jr. in their live capacity are a band that put me in a state of such overwhelming rock that it often takes quite a while to come down.

Contrary to popular belief, Oxford has the highest concentration of dull-witted, stupid, narrow-minded people anywhere in the British Isles.

For a long time, just skating in the Olympics had been my goal because not many Koreans had done it.

There is a kind of woman who is economically powerful, professionally powerful, who threatens a white male grip on power that has a long historic precedent in the country. Independent women living outside of marriage threaten all kinds of things about the way power is supposed to work.

You see Justin Bieber and Robert Pattinson, what they go through, and dude, that's not as exciting as it looks.

I don't believe in anti-heroes. Duke Wayne played a mean guy but never an anti-hero.

I always imagined myself somehow as an electron around some atom, and you're just, like, bouncing around and spinning. There was a never-ending supply of places to go, people to see, things to do, and fitting it all in became kind of an art.

All I can do is be my best - there will always be people who will never like me.

I am very ambitious.

It might have been easier to retire to say my knee couldnt handle it and let that be that. At the same time the prospect of not being able to compete in gymnastics anymore was heartbreaking.

I decided to make 'Captain America' because I realized I wasn't doing the film because it terrified me. You can't make decisions based on fear.

The economic tsunami has hit all airline employees. With the 2001 terror attacks, airline bankruptcies, pension terminations, loss of pay, changes in work rules - we're all working harder and longer than we used to.

Internet marketing entrepreneurs have truly opened my eyes to just how important a quick turnaround time can be. Often times, an interview they conduct with me today is online by the next morning. The interviewee is then able to start making money less than 24 hours after the initial interview.

I think what's really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves, within their own imagination, to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.

The truth is, I love history and studied it in college, with a particular focus on early American history. My love is so deep, in fact, I went to school at The College of William & Mary in Colonial Williamsburg.

It seems that elections today are more popularity than they are substantial issues.

We used to go to Studio 54 - an amazing place.

My work is less violent because we tend to write what we want to read... and I'm not that interested in gruesome books. Any violence, to fit in well with a crime novel, has to have compassion.

You can't control it once you turn it into the label, so there's the expectation that it'll leak a week before the album comes out. That's the world we live in.

Happiness, not in another place but this place, not for another hour, but this hour.
