Well, my son really loves wildlife. And everytime he draws a polar bear I want to tell him there probably won't any by the time... he's my age. That's kinda hard to deal with.

To be perfectly honest, I think that as I'm growing older, I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say, 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is.

A woman my age is not supposed to be attractive or sexually appealing. I just get kinda tired of that.

Listen, in England people are already writing their memoirs at the age of 23.

I was apprehensive. I feared every time I talked about poetry, it would be filtered through the lens of race, sex, and age.
