• I'd do pretty much anything to get back on stage. I'd like to develop a new musical.

But it's not the right time and I understand that. But I hear things like that and I get that little tingle in my stomach.

• There are different gradations of personhood in different poems. Some of them seem far away from me and some up close, and the up-close ones generally don't say what I want them to say.
