I am interested in personal stories because that's when people become expressive, spontaneous and heartfelt.

I mean, I think that - as an actress, in particular, I'm basically a fool, and I see the world upside down.

Then everyone leaves, and you are left, each night, to your own devices with a crowd of interesting people - most of whom you don't know - sitting in the dark.

I call the language of political figures, pundits and administrators "the haute couture of language."

That artists are called to be more responsible and 'true' is a tip of hat to their power.

I think what I am is a "convener"; I like to convene people around ideas.

My main concern is theater, and theater does not reflect or mirror society. It has been stingy and selfish, and it has to do better.
