I got to work with robert deniro once and it was a strange experience. gwyneth paltrow and i were doing great expectations movie together and we were complaining about what a mediocre film experience it was. deniro showed up on set and all of a sudden the director got better, the director of photography got better - everybody got more interested and excited. deniro isn't waiting for other people to create the environment that he wants, he brings it along with him.

I remember staying up all night waiting to see the first screening of cape fear because you knew that every time robert deniro had a performance it was going to be revelatory. then deniro hit this place, he seemed like he was done with the emotional cost of impaling himself like that, and he dedicated himself to comedy.

I have transported many, thousands; and to all of them, my river has been nothing but an obstacle on their travels. they travelled to seek money and business, and for weddings, and on pilgrimages, and the river was obstructing their path, and the ferryman's job was to get them quickly across that obstacle. but for some among thousands, a few, four or five, the river has stopped being an obstacle, they have heard its voice, they have listened to it, and the river has become sacred to them, as it has become sacred to me.

I wanted raging bull. i wanted casino. i got rocky and bullwinkle. but that's ok, because i still get to tell people i've worked with robert deniro.

Robert deniro, who may be the greatest living actor, usually acts in a way which is very stone-faced, like steve mcqueen. for example, steve mcqueen, if you cut the sound, you don't know what he's acting really. he gives to the lines, to the text, something very special, and he's very good. he was a great actor. but, to do a silent movie, you have to have more expressive actors.

Even though helen vendler wasn't on the harvard faculty when i came first in 1979, she was a guardian spirit; robert fitzgerald gave me the use of his study in pusey library. monroe and brenda engel kept open house, bob and jana kiely made me at home in adams house. then, too, in 1979, frank bidart, whom id met in dublin after the death of robert lowell he was over seeing caroline blackwood frank brought me into his circle of friends, including robert pinsky and alan williamson.

I was in love with a whirlwind, so when the girl threw me over, i went home and finished my novel.

See, ma'am, frankly speaking this problem can't be solved by us police or military. the problem with these tribals is they don't understand greed. unless they become greedy there's no hope for us. i have told my boss, remove the force and instead put a tv in every home. everything will be automatically sorted out.

A certain number of people have to live their lives outdoors between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and a certain number of people can only leave their homes between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. so basically, public life has to be lived in these shifts, in order for everyone to fit on the streets because there's just no more room for any more infrastructure, any more highways. so it polarizes the community into day people and night people, and it becomes sort of a metaphor for racism and classism.

I had a blast doing the warped tour, but it's good to be home, for sure.
