Any musician who can stop may be a musician, but they're no artist. If it's in your blood, it can't stop flowing.

I'd never written a song before 'The Blood'; I didn't know it was going to be a song.

So with 'There Will Be Blood,' I didn't even really feel like I was adapting a book. I was just desperate to find stuff to write.

The poetry of the earth is never dead.

With contemporary poetry having approximately as many fans outside the immediate field as there are devotees of undergoing knee surgery, any sentient, breathing reader who's genuinely interested in poetry... not scared of it... seems a godsend.

Blood is one of the things that made fights cool. Like, you knew it had gotten serious. I understand why we don't do it anymore.

It wouldn't be 'True Blood' if somebody didn't die.

In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.

There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.
