I love living in London.

Men of my age live in a state of continual desperation.

I believe that one can aspire to as much as one wants to.

I don't know much about my family history except that my father had straight black hair and his ancestors probably came from India.

Life is so short, it seems careless not to use it all.

To pretend you don't feel a certain strangeness after living in England for 40 years is a fallacy.

The thing about television is that you can't fake it. Your sense of discovery must be genuine; you can't pretend to be surprised.

Poetry says the things that I can't say. I read a lot, but I never write it.

How can you interview somebody about something fairly technical if you start on the wrong foot by not even knowing his name?

I can't think of any sentiment which is finer than being in a position to give people something they like. I love giving, I am rather embarrassed at receiving.

I am actually a terrible coward. Fear is a constant fact of my life.

Authentic kindness has a power greater than rock, paper and scissors combined.

No poet can stay alive solely in his/her poetry etched in papers, it is the reader audience in whom the poets breath forever.......

In Arlington, people would laugh at you if you tried to get people to look at your drawings or listen to your poetry. It was like you thought you were special.

Most people spend their lives going to bed when they're not sleepy and getting up when they are!

It's not healthy to live life as a succession of isolated little cool moments.

With the happiness, ecstasy and power you gain from meditation, you can gradually remove your mind from the things it has become hooked to that cause it pain.

You are very familiar with Western ways, but you are too young. You go everywhere to follow the big news, but the questions you ask are too simple -- sometimes naive.

I haven't met a woman without insecurities.

Lower your expectations of earth. This isn't heaven, so don't expect it to be.

If one begins all deeds well, it is likely that they will end well too.
