I'm in good shape. My cancer means I have lost a lot of organs and I'm a lot lighter. I have devoted myself to yoga and I'm doing handstands.

My commitment originated in my own story and my own relationship to violence.

The love is all around us. I made a life of love.

What I have found is that even when you try to transform existing structures they are so powerful they often overwhelm, seduce, and control you.

When I was younger I was much more polemical and didactic, much less trusting. Inherently my own vision of the world would weave its way through the characters. Also, my concerns are changing. What happens is you write a few plays and get boxed into some idea of what your concerns are and what you're supposed to be writing about.

Freedom, that's the kind of power I'm interested in. When we help each other get free, then it's not about anybody being on top or anybody being on the bottom. It's about being together, in a community.

When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift.
