I am not throwing away my shot.

I got to holler just to be heard.

I wouldn't give a performer something I couldn't deliver myself.

I think one of the things that makes theater special is first of all, it's one of the last places you put your phone away. And second of all, it's one of the last places where we all have a common experience together.

[Opetaia Foa'i] brought in the melody and the lyrics, but the lyrics were in Tokelauan, and so, we talked about what it could mean and whether this could be the ancestor song. So, I started writing English lyrics to sort of the same melody.

I feel like style is like accent. You don't hear it on yourself, and then everyone's like, man, you got a strong accent.

We sort of quickly realized every rhythm, Opetaia [Foa'i] takes the lead.
