Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.
The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
He wants to live on through something-and in his case, his masterpiece is his son. all of us want that, and it gets more poignant as we get more anonymous in this world.

The job is to ask questions-it always was-and to ask them as inexorably as I can. And to face the absence of precise answers with a certain humility.
