Zitat des Tages von Anna D. Shapiro:
I just feel like, for whatever reason, female playwrights don't really ask me to do their plays. Nothing would make me happier than finding the sisterhood, but I can't make them.
I would love to figure out a way to be less careful and more adventurous.
I'm not sure plays tell people anything. I think plays include an audience in an experience that is happening in that moment, and that's the specialness. What people take away has almost as much to do with what they bring as what we do.
There are times when you're working with film people when you have to say, 'If the camera were on you, what you're doing would be perfect'.
I think of myself as actually kind of prudish and girly, but I don't know if a lot of other people would see me that way.
What I've understood is that to be funny is not my job. To see funny is my job.
Steppenwolf has always been at the center of everything in my professional life.
Theater, for me, is no longer a conversation about how we destroy each other; it's much more about how we may be destroying everyone else.
I'm getting less and less interested in the problems of youth. I'm much more interested in the idea of emotional paralysis, and I find myself less interested in work that doesn't have anything to do with a conversation about the world.
I'm not sure I have a role model per se, but I do deeply admire every woman who raises children and has to walk for water.
I wish theater criticism in this country could be more of a companion piece to the experience than a warning about where not to spend your money.
