I still find new things every night, which is the beauty and fun of live theater. It's a living, breathing art form.

Unlike film and TV, theater is a luxury object, but one that ordinary middle-class people can still afford. Above all, it isn't a mass medium: Live theater is a small-scale, handmade art form. Intimacy is what makes it special.

All of the generations go to what is chic for them, and theater seems to be an older generation's art form.

New Orleans is awake all night, and every night is a party.

The oldest form of theater is the dinner table. It's got five or six people, new show every night, same players. Good ensemble; the people have worked together a lot.

Filmmaking is a very privileged art form. It costs a lot of money to make these things.
