It's interesting when you get those roles, which seem like nothing on the page, and you kind of subvert them. It's hard to say no.

What I find interesting is this ricochet effect, that the audience perceives the work and then does something with it, throws it back to the world, and there's an ongoing interaction between work and audience, which doesn't belong to the artist anymore - from the moment you release it, it doesn't belong to anybody.

Becoming artistic directors is an enormous responsibility and not one that we take lightly.

In the current climate, things that are true, brave human stories become political.

The thing I love about live performance the most, is that the doors are closed, the lights are turned down, and the audience has to be reverential to what's happening onstage.

My husband keeps me really honest.

I think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself.
