I was excited by what my painter friends were doing and they seemed to be interested in our poetry too and that was a wonderful little fizzy sort of world.

In fact a lot of them I think are absolute baloney. Those Charles Olsens and people like that. At first I was interested in seeing what they were up to what they were doing why they were doing it. They never moved me in the way that one is moved by true poetry.

I was very interested in American poetry for many years. Much less now.

The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse.

Everyone is interested in war in that people don't want it to happen. I'm much more interested in peace than in war but it's important to understand why we fight.

Parents are not interested in justice they're interested in peace and quiet.

The truth is that parents are not really interested in justice. They just want quiet.

The addiction to sports therefore in a peculiar degree marks an arrested development in man's moral nature.

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no like 'I'll be the rock star you be the adulating fan.'

I got interested in the idea of music that could make itself in a sense in the mid 1960s really when I first heard composers like Terry Riley and when I first started playing with tape recorders.

Yeah I've been interested in music since I was a teenager always writing songs.

When I was a teenager I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

I've always been interested in making movies.

Everybody gets typecast in movies but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look so you have to fight that. If producers had their way I'd only be in action films but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.

I've never been interested in action movies. Definitely not interested in sci-fi.
