People will justify whatever for a good cause.

I use cinematic things in a theatrical way on stage, and in film I use theatrical techniques in a cinematic way.

Some people become dullards, but as children we are all creative. It's in the programming, the socialization, that we lose our sense of play.

I saw bubbling lava, and at the same moment I saw a reflection of a certain kind of inner turmoil. Because at the moment I looked into that crater, I slipped, and a large piece of volcanic rock took a hole out of my leg. The scar is still there 20, 30 years later. But it's one of those things that reminds you of the kind of risk or the kind of moment in order to push yourself.

What I don't know for sure is what's next for me - and I don't mind that. I know for sure that whatever happens will be interesting and will challenge and excite me.

I'm a firm believer in the idea that theater excels over film and TV in its ability to let people play with poetry.

What I adore is the juxtaposition of high tech and low tech. It's sort of like I love the sacred and the profane. I love to put these extremes in the same hopper.
