I have a notebook with me all the time, and I begin scribbling a few words. When things are going well, the walk does not get anywhere; I finally just stop and write.

I consider myself kind of a reporter - one who uses words that are more like music and that have a choreography. I never think of myself as a poet; I just get up and write.

I have a notion that if you are going to be spiritually curious, you better not get cluttered up with too many material things.

When I sit down with my notebook, when I start scribbling words across the page, I find out what I'm feeling.

When I walk down the boardwalk, people stop me and say, 'Oh, your house is the one that glows.'

Many are called but few get up.
