I Think, By And Large, The Level

No Work Of Art Is Ever Finished, Nothing Is Ever Static, No Performance Is For Keeps.

Since The Time Of The Ancient Greeks A Democracy Has Depended On Its Philosophers And Creative Artists. It Can Only Flourish By Continuous Probing, Prodding, And Questioning Of The Social Conditions Under Which Man Exists And Tries To Better Himself. One Of The First Moves Of A Dictatorship Is To Stifle The Artists And Thinkers Who Have The Ability To Stir Up Dissent From Any Prescribed Dogma Which Might Enslave Them. Because The Artist Can Arouse The Curiosity And Conscience Of His Community, He Becomes A Threat To Those Who Have Taken Power.

The Need To Be Loved And Protected Is At A Peak When We Feel Abandoned And Are Particularly Vulnerable To Difficult Circumstances.

One Cannot Demand Of Art That It Pay You In Any Other Way Than In The Satisfaction Of The Work Itself.

I'm A Bad Liar; I Don't Know What To Say Backstage.
