But I'm not like sad depressed miserable person. I guess sometimes I give off that impression.

You get used to sadness growing up in the mountains I guess.

I don't feel like a romantic lead I guess I feel more like a character actor.

I guess I'm a bit of a romantic.

I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit I guess that's quite romantic.

My mission I guess has always been the kind of world where lesbian and gay people can celebrate who we are with equal freedom dignity and respect.

I really don't spend any time on the Internet so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.

I guess at the end of the day all women like to be appreciated and treated with respect and kindness.

I could almost say it is my religion. I guess that sounds pretentious but I want to live and breathe cinema.

I guess we've had a very close relationship because I don't pretend to know about cinema and I think I do know a bit about theatre but he does he respected that and so we really just had a collaboration which went completely like this.

But being in the closet uniquely assisted me in politics. From my first run for the state legislature until my election as governor all too often I was not leading but following my best guess at public opinion.

I guess I don't like the people in politics very much to be blunt.

I guess probably in my time in politics it continued to be affirmed to me that the African-American community despite being subscription television's most valuable customers they are very underserved by cable and satellite television programming options.

I guess you'd call me an independent since I've never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves no matter what the party label.

Well I guess the plan was to write poetry and publish books and make a living from writing poetry. That was a pretty ambitious plan I guess.

I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn't that I wanted to become an expatriate or just never come back I needed some breathing room. I'd already been translating French poetry I'd been to Paris once before and liked it very much and so I just went.

I wonder if I ever thought of an ideal reader... I guess when I was in my 20s and in New York and maybe even in my early 30s I would write for my wife Janice... mainly for my poet friends and my wife who was very smart about poetry.
