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.

People in power have to be careful about what comes out of their mouth. They have to find exactly the right word that can't be attacked.

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

Hope is when you look out the window and you go, 'It doesn't look good at all, but I'm going to go beyond what I see to give people visions of what could be.'

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

I remember from my father's funeral that the minister kept using a metaphor about life of a prism. And I took that away like a cherished image.

Art simply can’t be stopped.
