I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S.

We spend so much of our early lives trying to figure out who we really are. And we spend the rest of our lives preparing ourselves to let it go.

Nature is a series of murders.

Ibsen, Chekhov, Shakespeare, and Beckett to me are the most revolutionary.

I love when a director says, "I don't know."

Kids' literature now is dystopian, you know.

The bigger the budget, the more trouble there is.

It seems like there'd be no Donald Trump without the internet, first of all. He's a tweeter, which is basically just a bullhorn.

I spent a lot of time with making sure everyone felt wanted.

I love British female directors lately.

I'm going to go wherever I'm needed.

Your soul is the priestess of memory, selecting, sifting, and ultimately gathering your vanishing days toward presence.

Knowledge and human power are synonymous.

One day, I watched the sun setting forty-four times......You know...when one is so terribly sad, one loves sunsets.

It is nice to be recognised for actually achieving something in life as opposed to spending seven weeks in a house on TV with a load of other muppets.

But you know the second month I was here I put out a healthy lifestyles directive. The pundits will say it was because we were sued. Well that's what they say. It was never about that.

As soon as you start claiming you can be someone that you are not, you are crazy.

Where I used to strive for movement and restlessness I now attempt to sense and express the complete total calm of objects and the surrounding air.

True healing, of deep connective tissue, takes place in community. Where is God when it hurts? Where God's people are.

To be honest, because there's loud music in my ears probably three hours a day, between sound check and the show, I listen to podcasts more than I listen to music on the road.
