I'm not a writer. I think I can write short stories and poetry, but film writing, brilliant film writing, is a talent - you can't just do it like that.

It's like I understand images and some people understand poetry.

Poetry is a mere drug, Sir.

I have piles of poetry books in the bathroom, on the stairs, everywhere. The only way to write poetry is to read it.

You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
