I'm growing old, I delight in the past.

I have been no more than a medium, as it were.

He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.

Why a musician loves playing jazz or classical music or what makes them happy, and why an artist likes to paint - it's so hard to actually put into words what that feeling is of joy that we get, but that is what I get: a feeling of joy when the camera is rolling, even if I'm doing something that is not joyous.

Poetry is almost like my foundation for everything. I almost feel I am a better actor and writer because of it.
