I was enchanted by the escape into that meticulous world that seemed real yet not... well, it seemed not real, but very detailed and meticulous, bizarre.

When, at fifteen years of age, I started going every weekend to New York, the plays that I loved were always the weird plays.

But I also enjoyed the way more realistic, earthly events, like somebody peeking in the window, which you just happen to notice as the camera swings past, would redeem that film from being too much of a purist exercise.

Maybe I have to radicalize that tendency to want to be at a certain emotional pitch, a certain psychological pitch, and simply sustain and repeat that particular esthetic effect.

Now, when I started my theater, the modus operandi was having the actors stare right into the audience.

In grade school I did lip synch versions of Gilbert and Sullivan operas.

My rule for staging for the first six years, at least, was to make the staging be an ex-ray of the text. Try to be as simple, to do as little as possible, and only to do what was really indicated in the text.

It's true, I don't like the real world.

We live in a world in which everything's interpreted for us. I'm interested in creating a different experience.

My play is the ultimate expression of my feeling of the twilight of Western civilization.

I like to think of the notebooks as a pool of raw material, ... I make plays of out it, so why can't other people? I just identify with this idea that I'm a funnel for this material that doesn't particularly belong to me.

Then when I was fifteen, fourteen, a friend of mine and I from Scarsdale used to come into New York every Saturday to see a matinee on Broadway.

Well, lo and behold, the greatest thing that ever happened in my life, a month later Alvin Cooperman called back and told my father that I had tremendous talent!

As I told you, from the time I was fifteen, I thought the theater was too much involved with actors trying to make the audience love them, being over emotional.

I feel confused about the influence of a computerized society, where there's instant gratification at every level.
