Little Sparta is a garden in the traditional sense. It is perhaps not like other modern gardens, but I think that other times would have had no difficulty with it.

Certain gardens are described as retreats when they are really attacks.

The present order is the disorder of the future.

I came to these mediums through having the garden, and of course, people who have designed gardens have always worked in collaboration, and never made their own inscriptions.

People have always found me challenging - I don't know why, when I am only being myself. I don't understand why they find me so annoying but they do. It is pity, but that is how it is.

I am always a beginner. I only try to include different parts of life; the pastoral, the tragic, et cetera.

As a friendly one. I would still like to write concrete poems, but I can only do it sometimes.

What you compose with is neither here nor there, you compose with words, or you compose with stone plants and trees, or you compose with events; the Sheriff's officer, or whatever.

No, I don't make my work in order to challenge or confuse other people's expectations - I only do what I find natural.

But at the beginning it was clear to me that concrete poetry was peculiarly suited for using in public settings. This was my idea, but of course I never really much got the chance to do it.

But I can only write what the muse allows me to write. I cannot choose, I can only do what I am given, and I feel pleased when I feel close to concrete poetry - still.

Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as does oil above water.

Lack and limitation can only exist when we make room for them in our mind

this is what i never allowed myself to need. and of course what i've been needing all along.

We will not, therefore, lose our time praying to an imaginary god for things which our own exertions alone can procure.

Even I, when I was a student in London, often wore Western clothes, and yet I'm the most Indian Indian I know.

Very few movies I've done I regret being involved in.

He seems faster too me. He could get seven to 10 yards in a pretty comfortable fashion. I went up to our defense and said 'Hey guys, that guy is pretty fast.'

I think it's OK to compose songs and sing them about questions that we don't have answers to yet.

A book very much is the center of the road, so people always can refer back to it.

Eight gold medals? If I wanted I could make a movie about me winning nine gold medals. Now that's real power.
