Acting school was summer camp, and I needed concentration camp. I had so many different ideas swirling between culture and how to tie things together.

I like the theatre because you paint with broad strokes. To me the theatre is stretching its definition really far.

You have to work with what you are given, even in Shakespeare. we have our form and it is important that we free ourselves through it.

We make a contract within ourselves as actors or directors or writers about how much of ourselves we let into projects. You can actually figure out before you work on something how much blood you will have to let emotionally.

I hear music as narrative.

The camera is interested in what you are thinking as opposed to just what you are doing or saying.

It is important to tell good stories. You can tell stories even if they are not huge, epic, and wonderful. You can still take the responsibility for being a scribe of your tribe.
