Sarah Kay: 我从小就喜欢诗歌，因为我的父母每天都会给我写一首诗，这让我觉得诗歌是可靠的、惊喜的、私密的、充满爱的。在日常生活中，我会运用文字游戏和诗歌，比如给朋友写个性化的打油诗，设计文字游戏主题的万圣节服装。将生活中让你感到快乐的瞬间记录下来，并尝试分享，这是将文字游戏融入生活的方法。我会用一个小本子记录下生活中让我感到快乐或好奇的瞬间，这些记录可以作为日后写作的灵感来源。为了帮助人们克服对诗歌写作和表演的恐惧，我会让他们先写一些列表，例如“我知道的十件真实的事情”，这比直接写诗更容易上手。以开放的心态去生活，勇于展现脆弱和真诚，这比封闭自我更值得尝试。阅读可以帮助提升写作能力，并拓宽写作思路；将写作视为一个过程而非产品，可以减轻压力，并持续改进。意识到爱需要表达，而不是仅仅停留在心里，这让我成为更好的人。 Chris Duffy: (无核心论述，主要为引导访谈和补充说明)
