I know that I'm inadequate, but I never thought that at seventeen. I thought I was doing the best I could. I thought I was being idealistic.

I don't know anybody who does what I do. I'm very underground.

The world intrudes in my brain daily. Since my brain is dripping with all kinds of stuff that's out there in the world, that I can't seem to be able to shut out, it has to end up being in my work as well.

For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me.

If you say city to people, people have no problem thinking of the city as rife with problematic, screwed-up people, but if you say suburbs - and I'm not the first person to say this, it's been said over and over again in literature - there's a sense of normalcy.

I provide the bricks and mortar with the words and situations - the director and the actors and the designers build the house.
