Friendship is a wildly underrated medication.

Self-esteem does not come from surrounding yourself with people and things that seem to increase your value. Real self-esteem is an integration of an inner-value with things in the world around you.

I see myself as not a typical theater person, but a person who uses the theater as a place to meet people and explore ideas.

I happen to be a hopeaholic. I tend to look at problems as an opportunity to do some work.

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.

Each person has a literature inside them.

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.
