“I write first drafts with only the good angel on my shoulder, the voice that approves of everything I write. This voice does'nt ask questions like, Is this good? Is this a poem? Are you a poet?

Why should furious hate become obsession, then intoxication and the very reason to live?Because love and hate were the two heads of the demon.”
“I've always said that you can't be the new Mel Blanc by doing Mel Blanc's voice.”
