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

I realized that I had to be honest about where I was, where I was coming from, and what I was trying to do.

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.

Which implies that the real issue in art is the audience's response. Now I claim that when I make things, I don't care about the audience's response, I'm making them for myself. But I'm making them for myself as audience, because I want to wake myself up.

As I told you, from the time I was fifteen, I thought the theater was too much involved with actors trying to make the audience love them, being over emotional.

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

There is no work of art that has ever been made that is absolutely truthful about life.
