Why should poetry have to make sense?
Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world. I had to feel the exuberance that comes from utter confidence in yourself. Without it, you go down to defeat.
As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is "AUTHENTICITY".
The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.
Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.

I have Many Problems in My Life. But my leaps don`t know that. They always smile
That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.
I am for people. I can't help it.

You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down
You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.
I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.
