I'm a poet born in the era of Andy Warhol and a generation that wanted to be famous.

Time passes. That's for sure.

Listen, I have been educated. I have learned about Western Civilization. Do you know What the message of Western Civilization is? I am alone.

Part of the glamour of being a poet was always this long reach into the future. You knew you were managing time.

Poetry is my politics. It's an opportunity that gives me a way to speak.

Urban nature is like living with mass conditions. It sometimes feels like a myth & you are its scribe.

The poet is like the wise fool or like a version of the stand-up, because we're standing, we're doing stand-up. That's exactly what we're doing.

I always think of childhood as the inarticulate moment, and you have your little camera. You were filming it, recording it, you just didn't know how to speak it.

The hardest thing about a musical is making sure everybody is working on the same damn show. That is the monster.

I have no personal beef with Brandi Chastain. There's nothing personal.

The sheriffs are completely outnumbered and outgunned. And we don't have enough border patrol agents

Clothing should be like food. There should never be a $5000 sweater. You know what should cost $5000? A car.

Always remain suspicious that God is up to something good.

I work hard and have a winning attitude.

I don't want to be one of those people who falls out of cabs drunk. But I don't want to be known as some boring girl who just sits at home and doesn't do anything.
