All the things you can talk about in anyone's work are the things that are least important.... You can describe all the externals of a performance - everything, in fact, but what really constitutes its core. Explaining something makes it go away, so to speak; what's important is what's left over after you've explained everything else.

God knows, there's enough to worry about without worrying about worrying about things.

I realize that homosexuality is a serious problem for anyone who is - but then, of course, heterosexuality is a serious problem for anyone who is, too. And being a man is a serious problem and being a woman is, too. Lots of things are problems.

My mission in life is to make everybody as uneasy as possible. I think we should all be as uneasy as possible, because that's what the world is like.

I've never had any intentions about anything. That's why I am where I am today, which is neither here nor there, in a literal sense.

I feel that I am doing the minimum amount of damage to other possibilities that may take place in a reader's head.
