"I write between 5.30am and 9.00. That way, I hope I carry over something from my dream time." ― Andrew Motion Topic(s): Hope More From Andrew Motion "More people are reading poetry now than at any time in the history of the human race." "I wanted to reimagine the role, in a way that was respectful of its traditional responsibilities but made them part of a wider pattern of poetry about national incidents, events, preoccupations; and to spend a great deal of time going to schools trying to demystify poetry." "I deeply adored my mum. She was an extraordinary person, even for the prejudice I’m likely to have. She was beautiful, amusing, a tremendous elaborator of things into comic proportions and extravagant in her imagination." More In Hope "I can’t move back to England. My home is in France now. I’d love to but I can’t. My family’s all there now."― Kristin Scott Thomas "I hope one day I will host my own charity event to give back to society."― Yani Tseng "I hope that when I’m 80 years old, people will still be talking about my wedding."― Jennifer Hudson
