I used to write stories and poetry, but for some reason I have it in my head that if I'm going to write, I have to write a script.

I've been writing a lot of poetry recently. It helps me think and work things out.

I've always wanted to write poems and nothing else.

I also write poems, so that is something that I really enjoy.

I am a writer, which means I write stories, I write novels, and I would write poetry if I knew how to. I don't want to limit myself.

Poetry for me is very easy. It's like a lightning bolt. I feel this calling, and the first line of the poem comes into my head, and I just have to go to the page, to the typewriter, to the computer or whatever and write it.

I have to make myself write, sometimes. In the space between poems, you somehow forget how to do it, where to begin. It was good to be task - based for a while. I just came downstairs each day, picked the one I was going to do that day, and wrote.

What I try to do is to go into a poem - and one writes them, of course, poem by poem - to go into each poem, first of all without having any sense whatsoever of where it's going to end up.

I want to be a poet and have a chance to explore that and let people know what's really on my mind.

I can find some way to make poetry out of my life's experiences.
