I believe that all poetry is formal in that it exists within limits, limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes.

But I tend to think of the expressive part of me as rather tedious - never curious or responsive, but blind and self-serving.

I am not concerned with truth, nor with conventional notions of what is beautiful.

A life is not sufficiently elevated for poetry, unless, of course, the life has been made into an art.

Street performing can be a great teaching ground and a barometer for what you're doing. It's rough and unforgiving at times, but it can be wild and fun and a real open canvas for your creativity.

Intellectuals and creative people, once they start talking about God they get put into this other category: 'I don't go to people's music like that to understand my life.'

Creativity is as important as literacy and numeracy, and I actually think people understand that creativity is important - they just don't understand what it is.

There have been times when I booked out a dance studio and I’ve tried to choreograph in there and suddenly I feel like I have no creativity.
