I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'
Everything changes with time. I am not so experienced enough to analyze what the people love in me.
No matter how much you love your spouse, you won't love them in the same way you do your baby. It's a different love, and everything changes. You have to figure out how to parent together.
Everything changes as you get older - your mind, your body, the way you view the world.
I was born into a world in which the most compelling stories are through film. But that wasn't always the case. Everything changes; everything evolves.
I would not hesitate to say I was addicted to the Internet in the first two years. It can be addictive, and things not taken in moderation have negative effects. But the alarmism around 'Facebook is changing our brains' strikes me as a kind of historical trick. Because we now know from brain science that everything changes our brains.
We know how in football everything changes quickly. It doesn't take too long to lose one game.
When you score in the first minutes, everything changes.
To be a poet, it's a challenge to do it in poverty, to do it in wealth. To do it in the academy, to do it in a relationship where you're happy. Everything changes the game. To do it in the awkward state of love, despair, dying. You just have to work it.
Everything changes and, somewhere along the line, I'm changing with it.
