Acting is an escape from the boring person that I am in real life.

Patriotism is considered to be an emotion a person ought to feel. But why? Why is it nobler to love your own country than to love someone else's?

There's nothing regular about my life at all, really. I don't keep a regular schedule and every day is different. It's all rather chaotic.

You're always fighting the contradiction between the supposed intimacy of a two-person conversation and the blunt reality that you're trying to sell the play to people who are sitting maybe too far away from you.

I have more free time than a lot of individuals, so, instead of talking, I sometimes write.

I'm being mocked because I don't live up to a socially determined view of what other people think a person should look like.

I don't see that many plays, and for me, musicals are rarely pleasing. I feel the actors are being put through a kind of nightmarish labor. They're like animals being forced to pull heavy carts of vegetables at incredible speeds.
