It has been said that the myth is a public dream, dreams are private myths. Unfortunately we give our mythic side scant attention these days.

So it remains important and salutary to speak not only of the rational and easily understood, but also of enigmatic things: the irrational and the ambiguous. To speak both privately and publicly. ↗

I feel that I communicate best when I am not deliberately being linear. Along this same line, I feel some of the best sermons I've ever heard were in the theatre rather than the pulpit - as, for example, in the Theatre of the Absurd. ↗

I feel a lot more comfortable on stage in the theatre. It just reminds me of being a kid and doing pantomimes. ↗

I get to the theatre in plenty of time; I prepare my shoes in advance; I eat and drink the right things at the right time. The rest you have to leave to luck! ↗
