What I hope to do is create a play that investigates the ongoing violence toward women and children in the world, and searches for some kind of answer to the question, 'What Can We Do?'
People do think that if they avoid the truth, it might change to something better before they have to hear it.
Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.
Success is always something that you have to recover from.
If I had not had music in my life, I would be the neurasthenic vision of the playwright.
