My Biggest Problem About Writing

I Don't Know That I Make A Big Distinction Between The Big Pieces And The Little Pieces, Because I Don't Experience Them In That Way. I Mean, By The Same Token, You're Out Touring With A Band And Then You're Writing String Quartets, And In A Funny Way, Isn't It All The Same, In A Way? It's All Just Music.

Theatrical Times Are Different From Concert Times, To Put It Simply. Taking A Figure Like [mahatma] Gandhi And Setting Him On A Stage Requires Thinking About What Theater Is About And What The Whole Experience Is About And What We're Trying To Communicate In That Way, So You Get Into Certain Less Abstract Considerations.

A New Language Requires A New Technique. If What You're Saying Doesn't Require A New Language, Then What You're Saying Probably Isn't New.

I've Been Working In Theater, Really, Since About 1965. I Started Working With The Mabou Mines About Then, And In A Way I've Always Worked In The Theater, But It's Never Been A Main Part Of My Work. And It Wasn't Until Einstein That I Kind Of Shifted Into High Gear With Theater, Working With Bob, With Bob Wilson. And Since Then I Find It A Very Attractive Form To Work In. It's Just An Extension Of My Work.

If You Remember Your Lineage, You Will Never Feel Lonely.
