It is often true that those who sit in the wings can see more than the players.
Laughter is a sense of proportion and a power of seeing yourself from the outside.
Just going along with this, what I did, or what I do is I imagine not being myself seeing it, but imagine somebody else who's seeing it for the first time.
Maybe from the outside, Belgium looks complicated to understand, but from the inside, actually, every country is complicated.
Not living in L.A. gives me a different perspective. I'm not so caught up in the daily process of self-congratulations that's out there.
Sometimes, it takes leaving to gain some perspective. I see that clearly every time I leave Washington, D.C., and return to Indiana. I see the bizarre bubble that seems to enclose the Beltway and makes people forget what regular people care about.
The view outside was much more important than the exhibits.
I don't think anyone's life is totally wonderful, however it looks from outside.
Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.
American poetry is this country's greatest patrimony. It takes a stranger to see some things clearly. This is one of them, and I am that stranger.
From the inside looking out you can never see how it looks from the outside looking in.
When you're on the inside, there's no other perspective but what you see on the inside. When you're on the outside, you get to look at things a little differently: how you can help, how you can fit in, how you can do certain things differently.

People judge us looking from the outside. They don't really know what is going on in my life. There are hundreds of perspectives out there. I cannot live up to all the expectations.
The beauty of cricket is that there are so many different opinions as to the best way to do something and at times it is easier to see something when you're not emotionally involved in the game and not responsible for the decision. You can go and have a cup of tea and look at it from a different point of view.
I feel like there's always a lot of curiosity about what happens in America.
