I've been training in Jiu-jitsu for about six years and I'm very fortunate to live in that world. All the fighters hang out and have lunch together just about every day and trade stories. And I've always been fascinated how in the world of Jiu-jitsu in L.A. everybody in the fight world - cops, special forces, bouncers, stuntmen - connected across different lines.

Art is about the spontaneous connection of the artist to his own unconscious - about insight beyond reason. If his insight were reasonable, anyone could do it, but anyone cannot. Only few can, and they are called.

It's hard to write a good play because it's hard to structure a plot. If you can think of it off the top of your head, so can the audience.

You got an all-out prize fight, you wait 'til the fight's over, one guy's left standing and that's how you know who's won.

I took the liberal view for many decades, but I believe I have changed my mind.

When we fear things I think that we wish for them ... every fear hides a wish

The correct unit of study is not the play; it is the scene.
