Sometimes when I'm writing lyrics, it's a very loose train of thought, and wherever that takes me, I let it flow.
Wasn't making any great connection Wasn't falling for any intricate scheme Nothing that would pass inspection Just thinking of a series of dreams
Writing is a form of licensed madness.
Lying in bed just before going to sleep is the worst time for organized thinking; it is the best time for free thinking. Ideas drift like clouds in an undecided breeze, taking first this direction and then that.
Poetry leads us to the unstructured sources of our beings, to the unknown, and returns us to our rational, structured selves refreshed.
Sometimes I think my writing sounds like I walked out of the room and left the typewriter running.
Do not write me studied letters but ramble as you please.
I suppose half the time Shakespeare just shoved down anything that came into his head.
My creativity comes from an unhoned place, if 'unhoned' is a word.
My mind jumbles things, reassembles them, and plays with words without even being asked.
Sometimes when kids look like they're daydreaming, it's because they are, and we can't allow that possibility.
