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.

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

Those in the margins are always trying to get to the center, and those at the center, frequently in the name of tradition, are trying to keep the margins at a distance.

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

Even jealousy is based on fantasies: a fantasy that someone else has what belongs to you.

You've heard that old expression from Shakespeare, 'Just speak the speech'? The words themselves will take you to the reality of the character. And so this led me to interview people.

I feel like my work has been my path to freedom from having grown up in a segregated environment.
