You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way.

If you are sure you understand everything that is going on, you are hopelessly confused.

Eventually you get to this point where you understand what you want to do and get across and sound like.

I love to throw myself into situations where I don't understand everything yet.

That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way.

It's just human nature to try and figure things out. So, when we're in the midst of a situation, we usually try to reason our way through it.

Sometimes the only way I know how to work through something is by writing a poem. And sometimes I get to the end of the poem and look back and go, 'Oh, that's what this is all about,' and sometimes I get to the end of the poem and haven't solved anything, but at least I have a new poem out of it.

Everything I do is just really my intuition, and every time I go against my intuition, it's a mistake. Even though I may sit down and analyze and intellectualize something on paper, if I go against my gut feeling, it's wrong.

It's usually only the intellectual ones who understand what's going on in what I do.
