"When you're writing a sketch, it has to be surrounded by a situation. It can't just be out of the air."

Previous Quote

Especially once those poetry events began, because, yeah, the stuff was still on the page, but the page was starting to spill into real space, spill into air, once you could hear it, once there was a typewriter, once there was a body of a typist, it was getting rid of the confines of the page.
