I Think The First Time I Really Heard Poetry Was In The Schoolyard. Just The Little Limericks That Kids Say When They're Jumping Rope And Playing Games. I Think That's The First Time I Heard Rhyming Words - I Don't Know If I'd Call That The Definitive Poetry, But That's When I Heard Rhyming Words Said And Not Necessarily Sung.

My Mother's A Genius. She Just Kept Feeding Me Art On Whatever We Had; Paper Plates, Silver Platter, Didn't Matter. You Know, She Just Kept Feeding It To Me. So We Went To See All Kinds Of Theater. We Would Go To The Art Museum Pretty Much Every Sunday, And I Would Watch Her. She Let Me Know That Art Was Supposed To Touch.
