I don't have any sense or urgency about any of my writing, actually. I don't think mankind will be damaged if I don't put out a new album or a new book.
My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico GarcΓa 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.
