“The other side of it is that, despite all that, people reach out to poetry at the key moments in their lives.”

“Frost isn't exactly despised but not enough people have worked out what a brilliant poet he was.”

“I read a lot of nineteenth-century French poetry. And Irish poetry from the ninth century on.”

“I'd love to have a career like McConaughey or Shia LaBeouf - I love him in everything he's done. Despite his celebrity status, he's such a human being.”

“Success, they taught me, is built on the foundation of courage, hard-work and individual responsibility. Despite what some would have us believe, success is not built on resentment and fears.”

“Despite my career, so much of my life has been dictated by what I'm afraid of: fear that I am not talented. Fear that people will finally realize that I am a boring individual who doesn't have many ambitions beyond starting a family 'at a good time' in life.”
