The idea of a rupture between acts occurs in a number of my plays.

Frankly, seeing my plays with an audience is something I do with gritted teeth; I find the experience very difficult. I love the moment when you have just the dress rehearsal, when no one's there; that's kind of the peak to me. When people start filing in, I like to file out.

The qubit acts as a bridge between the microscopic and the macroscopic worlds.

The rate of interest acts as a link between income-value and capital-value.

The idea is that where disorder occurs ... that sends the message that this area is not being monitored.

I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind.
