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

I was enchanted by the escape into that meticulous world that seemed real yet not... well, it seemed not real, but very detailed and meticulous, bizarre.

Now, when I started my theater, the modus operandi was having the actors stare right into the audience.

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.

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.

Understand--it ALWAYS makes sense. Sense can't be avoided. If it first seems to be non-sense, wait: roots will reveal themselves.

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

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

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.

Don't do nothing because you can't do everything. Do something. Anything.

A good shepherd has a positive influence on his people through "inward work", i.e. working on them from the inside.

Another question a biblically literate reporter might have asked is, "Why are you proclaiming the Ten Commandments when you believe no one can live up to all of them?"

I've struck up a tremendous intimacy with Conte Alberto, and we literally can't live without each other. He is the first object my eyes greet in the morning, and the last at night.

I've been inspired by a shitload of people in my life so if there's ever anybody that I can inspire, to me that's a huge gift. To be able to turn that back around.

FORGIVE The People That Hurt You. God Will Pay You Back With Double The Joy...Double The Victory.

The religious is any activity pursued in behalf of an ideal end against obstacles and in spite of threats of personal loss because of its general and enduring value.

Who would you want to be giving you advice? Somebody who doesn't have any money?

As long as the working-people fold hands and pray the gods in Washington to give them work, so long they will not get it.
