We are all poets or babies in the middle of the night, struggling with being.

London Fields (1989)

I know what his poetry will be about. What poetry is always about. The cruelty of the poet's mistress.

London Fields (1989)

Poets don't drive. Never trust a poet who can drive. Never trust a poet at the wheel. If he can drive, distrust the poems.
