I acted in junior high in the junior high school group, and then when I got into senior high I was, you know, the main actor of the senior high school.

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

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.

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

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.

One does not devote one's life in art to shock an audience.
