Identity is an assemblage of constellations.

I am lucky: I have fantastic doctors and a fantastic dentist.

I think some of our most talented people are not going to pick the arts as a way that they're going to spend their lives.

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.'

A lot of acting techniques are very self-oriented.

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.

The individuals inside are frequently fighting that their individual voices be heard, while the walls of the place, which are the mask, and the perception, are reluctant to give over to the voices of the individuals. 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. Part of the identity of a place is the tension between those in the margins, and those in the center, and they all live behind the walls which wear the tradition.
