Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground. There is a possibility that in some way or another I may be able to escape. But stand me on that floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No. Never.
Deliverance is about what I went through the first time. And I chalk it up as a learning experience.
I chalk up the fact that I got diabetes to my body saying, 'Dude, you have been doing wrong for way too long!'

I hesitate to say because it sounds silly, but the first play I did was 'The Caucasian Chalk Circle' by Brecht.
