Poetry. I read Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Jane Hirschfield. I like to read Billy Collins out loud.

I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.

I like to borrow forms and quotes and use a lot of allusions, in both poetry and music.

There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.

Poetry is like a bird, it ignores all frontiers.

I don't like the word 'poetry,' and I don't like poetry readings, and I usually don't like poets. I would much prefer describing myself and what I do as: I'm kind of a curator, and I'm kind of a night-owl reporter.

Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.

Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.

Things that look like an 'overnight success' typically are not.

Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success, and then just get a little more.

Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own.

Do something you really like, and hopefully it pays the rent. As far as I'm concerned, that's success.

What I learned from directing, I learned from soccer, where it's like a coach-player relationship.

I don't even like to use the word relationship. I don't know what it means.

My brother and I had a really privileged relationship with my parents... They treated us like adults.

I would like to do maybe a smaller romantic comedy.

I'm a romantic. The impressionists have always been my favorites. I like prettiness - beauty, or what I perceive as beauty.

Yeah, but there's nobody who represents romance to me like Cary Grant.
