If you want to really deeply touch the viewer or the reader, the theater might be the most powerful way to do it.

I'm a storyteller. I feel like the issue of discourse is an important one because there's a lot of political and ideological discourse that goes around, and we relate to that on an intellectual level.

In my early 30s, I started to realise I was avoiding something on a personal level, but also as a writer. I was in denial about who I was, and was trying to be someone who I was not.

The secret of a happy life is respect. Respect for yourself and respect for others.

I don't want to test that simple sense of being human. I don't want to transform it.

I have no interest in problematizing things. So what I am writing to is that simple sense of being human in myself.

I started to understand that for me, art was no longer about self-expression but about creative engagement with the world. I started to respond in an excited way to making work inside an industry and not feeling the constraints of audience expectation as some kind of thing that I should avoid.
