I talk to a lot of people who, when you try to sum them up in a couple of sentences, seem like they must be insane.
A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone.
I like plays where people talk a lot. Conversation is sustained. Argument is sustained.
I grew up in a household where we talked about race all the time, and that's sort of in me. So if I become the Anthony Bourdain of race and culture, then great!
Society is becoming less and less transparent. People no longer know where decisions that substantially affect their lives are taken, nor by whom, nor how.

You say a line and you wait for them to laugh, then you say another line and you wait... It felt weird to me. But it's interesting and the energy is almost like theatre, I suppose, with all the people there.
The state security bodies should not be seen as an institution that works against society and the state; one needs to understand what makes them work against their own people.
