I never met a word I didn't love
Being Irish, I always had this love of words.
I'm probably more interested in sentences than anything else in life.
My love of written language is every bit as great as my love for music.
Wordstruck is exactly what I was—and still am: crazy about the sound of words, the look of words, the taste of words, the feeling for words on the tongue and in the mind.
I fell in love with words in all languages, and I read everything I could find, particularly myths and legends and histories and archeology and any novels.
I grew up with a love of words.
I loved languages, and loved learning languages. It was fantastic. But I was alone there. I remember that time as a real Virginia Woolf time. More than any language it was her language that influenced me.
I just remember really loving words and writing about anything I could, and the way I'd remember things, like my library card number, was to make a melody.
I love words; I love poetry.
