Making your life is ultimately an extraordinarily creative endeavor.

I'm interested when things are upside down - because there are so many possibilities in that one moment. There is a lot that is exposed.

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

A lot of acting techniques are very self-oriented.

People who are sick, or who have been sick, or have come close to death have a lot to say - and they want you to hear it.

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.

You know if we were to look back and how we were in 1955 living in Jim Crow, living in segregation, living in segregated schools, it's hard to believe that it was America, but it really was.
