I'm there to make a kind of theatrical music that is desperately missing in my life. And if other people don't like it, I'm very unhappy, but I can't do anything about that.

If I wasn't in the theater, I would be a hermit.

Now, when I started my theater, the modus operandi was having the actors stare right into the audience.

Because even at the age of fifteen, I used to go see all the Broadway shows and feel that they were sentimental, that they were pandering to the audience and trying to manipulate the audience. I had no use for practically any of the shows that were hits.

My play is the ultimate expression of my feeling of the twilight of Western civilization.

Understand--it ALWAYS makes sense. Sense can't be avoided. If it first seems to be non-sense, wait: roots will reveal themselves.

I've been trying to figure out for at least the last 10 years how to force myself into something more risky.
