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.

Identity is an assemblage of constellations.

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.

I think as a kid I always liked to listen to people. I loved hearing stories.

I don't talk a lot when I interview. My job is to get out of the way.

Some people study a text very deeply. The people are my text. I study their words and what their words sound like, over and over again.

If I do three interviews in a day, I can be exhausted, because the process of hearing everyone requires that I empty out myself. While I'm listening, my own judgments and prejudices certainly come up. But I know I won't get anything unless I get those things out of the way.
