I have spoken to expert audiences occasionally, but then no audience is expert over the whole range of things I want to explore.

My way of thinking is very particular and concrete. It doesn't follow a continuous path.

While I don't script and I don't use other performers, I think my taste for underlying precision gives me something in common with Allan and George Brecht.

I'm aware of my audience in a way, and I do try to engage with them while I'm trying to go about my business of thinking. I believe they help me by providing a focus.

I learned enough Hebrew to stagger through a meaningless ceremony that I scarcely remember.
