I have been vain since birth. I expected other people to like what I did, although my vanity has definitely diminished over the years.

I spend most of my time thinking about things like laundry and buying stationery supplies.

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 see myself as a citizen of the planet. Even as a child, I always found it mindless to root for your own team. I was puzzled by the fact that people said their own team was better than other teams simply because it was theirs.

My father was a jazz listener, and I think, at least before I was 5, I was not so into that. Although there were records that emphasized percussion that I liked, like Baby Dodds.

I was clever enough to know that John Donne was offering something that was awfully enjoyable. I just wasn't clever enough to actually enjoy it.

My plays have been strange from the beginning, and they never got unstrange.
