I Never Grew Up Thinking,

When I Was First Exposed To The Films Of Ingmar Bergman, I Found Them Frank And Disturbing Portraits Of The World We Live In, But That Was Not Something That Displeased Me. They Were Beautiful. I Thought People Would Respond To My Plays The Way I Responded To Bergman's Films.

When I Was A Child, I Did Always Feel That People Were Hiding Things, And That They Weren't Expressing Their True Feelings. When Adults Are Too Complicated, And Cover Their Emotions With Layers Of Well-intentioned Subterfuge, The Child Isn't Seeing Reality Clearly Enough And Gets Upset.

I Know That I Am One And I've Made A Living As An Actor And I Enjoy Being An Actor, But When I'm Not Actually Doing It, I Forget That I Do It.

A Play Presents A Self-enclosed Little World For The Audience To Examine. It's An Opportunity To Look Objectively At A Group Of People, To Assess Them, To React To Them, And To Measure Oneself Against Them, To Ask 'am I Like That?'

I Have Been Vain Since Birth.
