Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.

While we dance in the streets and pat ourselves on the back for being a nation great enough to reach beyond racial divides to elect our first African-American president let us not forget that we remain a nation still proudly practicing prejudice.

How often are the perpetrators of hate-crimes discovered to be self-loathing? Valued individuals do not strike out against strangers.

Also, if you want to reach people, theatre is not always the best way to do it.

Pork was in 1971, and I stopped hanging out at The Factory by like 1973.

Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.

You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.
