“Poetry is like a portrait of a moment or person, and the poem is almost like looking at a photograph; it slaps you in the face and kisses you at the same time. Nothing else does that, with that brevity. Songs try to do it, but that's three minutes.

It's like the best song lyric, the best line from a film-everything in the world that's short and great put together.”
