More From George Bernard Shaw

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

I hated being stuck at home doing the student thing. i always wanted to work. and there's nothing wrong with it. so you can take what you can get. and, you know, this, 'well, that's beneath me. i have a degree.' put it aside for a while because reality is what it is. there are a lot of people having to do a lot of things that they think are beneath them right now because mcdonald's is not open to make sure you don't starve. that's your job. your responsibility to make sure you don't starve and your kids don't starve and all the rest of it.

One of the surest tests of the superiority or inferiority of a poet is the way in which a poet borrows. immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. the good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. a good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

I've got a collection of songs that i've had, i keep adding to and they're all great american composers. i wanted to showcase american composers and i've done that on a lot of my records and played things by american composers that i really respect.

The actor has to have some degree of craft, along with the talent. no one tries to laugh except bad actors. no one tries to cry except bad actors. how a character hides his feelings tells us who he is. most people don't know that, and most actors don't do that. therefore, there are a lot of actors who put me to sleep, that are considered good actors, but they're predictable and boring. i know how the scene is going to end before it ends.

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.

I don't think there's any intrinsic difference between a lover and a husband. ... if i were cynical, i would say that a woman should have both a good husband and a lover. but i'm not cynical so i'll just say that a woman should have a lover who's a good husband and a husband who's a good lover, perhaps both.
