Every Role You Do Is Kind Of A Side Of Yourself. That's Why They Give You The Part.

Poets Are Political, They Have To Be Reflections Of Their Times [because] They're Living In Their Times... Poetry Is Political In That It's Standing In Opposition To Fascism. Good Poetry Asks A Bunch Of Questions And Asks The Audience To Interact With Themselves Or See Themselves In It; Maybe You Like It Or You Don't Like It. But The Fascist Sort Of Stuff Plays On Your Fears And Tells You To Jump On The Party Line And Gives Some Simple Excuses - Blame This Person.

There Are Some Good People. But A Good Chunk Of Them Will Lie For No Reason At All - It'll Be Ten O'clock And They'll Tell You It's Nine. You're Looking At The Clock And You Can't Even Fathom Why They're Lying. They Just Lie Because That's What They Do.

There's Also Some Element Of Coming Of Age During The Reagan Administration, Which Everybody Has Painted As Some Glorious Time In America, But I Remember As Being A Very, Very Dark Time. There Was Apocalypse In The Air; The Punk Rock Movement Made Sense.

I Remember Once Acting Really Cool On A Bus With This Girl Named Stephanie. When I Got Home, I Realized That I Had A Really Big Zit On My Forehead. If You Have Acne Problems, You Really Shouldn't Be Acting Like Don Juan.
