Work

At different times in my life, I worked in very different fields.

I don't know who I am, professionally speaking.

There's something senseless about bureaucracy - it sort of drives you crazy.

Acting is a fantastic way to illuminate that intersection of unconsciousness and conscious decision-making.

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.

Business has only two functions: marketing and innovation.

This is the real secret of life - to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.

We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words.

Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: it's always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins.

I want to go in. I never want to finish. I quote myself as saying to a friend: But I never want to finish.

One said no to so much, one spent years on nothing.

Every man's work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.

The poetic work is the interior fruit of the soul.

Poetry is a serious game played well.

The old masters call to me and say, 'Don't stop. Work hard.'

Write hard and clear about what hurts.

I wish that writing were as easy as dying.

I painted for myself... I never believed anyone would exhibit or buy my work.

Nothing a man does is either better or worse than the way he does it.
