In my early 20s, I studied history and politics, and I really thought that perhaps I would devote my life to that.

I have an enormous appetite to see life as I know it presented in front of my eyes.

"The Fever" is a one-person play. I decided I would perform it myself, and I decided I would not perform it in theaters, because the character in the play says certain things that I meant.

I never grew up thinking, 'One day I will play so and so' because I wasn't expecting to be an actor at all.

In an amusement park, you can go on a roller coaster that carries you up and down, or you can go on another kind of ride that whirls you around in a circle. Similarly, there are different sorts of entertaining experiences in the theater.

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.

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?
