More From Sherman Alexie
- "My father was sleepless most of his life. So by the age of five, I was awake with him all night long, watching bad television or we’d lie in the same bed, and I’d read my comic books while he read his latest spy or mystery novel."
- "I’m a method writer. In order to write about the emotion, I have to experience it. I get physically tired and exhausted, devoting hours and hours and hours to it."
- "My father is an amazing man."

- "The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse."― Robert Morgan
- "Poetry had far better imply things than preach them directly… in the open pulpit her voice grows hoarse and fails."― F. L. Lucas
- "When you’re looking that far out, you’re giving people their place in the universe, it touches people. Science is often visual, so it doesn’t need translation. It’s like poetry, it touches you."― Story Musgrave
