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 don't have an ideal reader. I'm trying to reach something simple and, I believe, universal, in every single person.

I feel like that religions generally ask the biggest questions. They may not always have the best answers, but they're the zone of human activity that regularly asks the biggest questions.

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

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

I think that literary forms are losing their capacity to connect people to issues, to the experiences that feel most meaningful to them.
