We act as if that being of a man or that being of a woman is actually an internal reality or something that is simply true about us, a fact about us, but actually it's a phenomenon that is being produced all the time and reproduced all the time, so to say gender is performative is to say that nobody really is a gender from the start.
I do not see how a people that can find in its conscience any excuse whatever for slowly burning to death a human being, or for tolerating such an act, can be entrusted with the salvation of a race.

I loved living and breathing theatre so much that I decided I had to find a way to bring my desire to act and my ability to support myself together. I'd run through the possibilities in Washington, so that meant moving to New York.
The act of writing is a kind of catharsis, a liberation, but I never really concerned myself with that. I write because it interests me.

Depicting a terrorist act in a film isn't going to incite terrorism.
It is almost impossible to reconcile self expression with the creative act.

Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor.
When I was an academic, I'd sometimes get a little feeling of excitement when I had an idea that was, I hoped, fresh. And whether anyone should act on that idea is a very different question.
Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people who take pictures, you know, carry a camera. Because if I did I'd have stack's and stack's and stack's of different act's. I got a lot here - I know what I done.
