I think with actors, if you just don't set about trying to crush their confidence immediately, you're usually OK.
You can't take a play someone has directed and do whatever you want with it.
It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.
I can see how, given a certain degree of sensitivities, proclivities and rage, I could have ended up differently.
Theater is so ephemeral, and I love that.
The most evocative thing to me is probably when a writer and a group of performers can collectively put together something compelling that asks the really simple question: 'How do we live?'
