I'm a massive fan of David Lynch and 'Twin Peaks.'

There's nothing more threatening than a powerful woman, and there's nothing more threatening to the current order of things than women powerfully owning their own narrative. It's so threatening to people, to women as well, and it's threatening the order of things.

There are so many people, so many artists, so many magazines, so many theater companies, so many people trying to raise money for so many things that it's easy to look around and just feel powerless or helpless, because even if you have some resources, you can't help everybody.

Those who can ask without shame are viewing themselves in collaboration with-rather than in competition with-the world.

There's a huge cloud of shame around art and business being seen as bedfellows.

The stage show is, in some sense, highly theatrical. It's definitely not just a band in jeans playing rock and roll.

The key is to just focus on the spots where the love is real, because you can just drive yourself crazy focusing on the negativity, focusing on the relationships that are irreparable and just aren't going to work, trying to convince the haters that you are indeed lovable. So much of that is wasted energy.
