The world is getting smaller and smaller every day. We cannot find ourselves dependent on somebody who is untrustworthy.
I'm not hiding anything. What you see is what you get.
I have always been interested in theater, as an actor and as someone who looks upon theater - at the risk of sounding pretentious - as an icon by which we measure society... My life has been in the theater to an extent. It's only an extension to write, direct, produce, whatever.

People will always want a free lunch.
I hate television, but that's me. It's like sucking your thumb. It's a wonderful thing for keeping the masses enslaved.

You can't change the market; the market just is.
What I would really like to do is live in a university town and be an intellectual bum. I just want to write, read, whatever. I'm very eclectic. I read every night until my eyes burn.

I like to create a nice environment and let people reveal themselves instead of trying to trick them or surprise them with a hidden question.
