Zooming in, zooming out. I was shocked. I said, Let's erase this right now, put the camera behind the stage and I'll do the performance just for the camera.

I really like dark, politically incorrect humor.

I believe stories are very important to all performances. The life story of the performer shapes their work, and the life stories of the audience alter how they receive the work, what they read into the performer.

Performance has to be mainstream art. This is what I'm fighting for.

When you have a nonverbal conversation with a total stranger, then he cant cover himself with words, he cant create a wall.

I believe so much in the power of performance I don't want to convince people. I want them to experience it and come away convinced on their own.

If you're a baker, making bread, you're a baker. If you make the best bread in the world, you're not an artist, but if you bake the bread in the gallery, you're an artist. So the context makes the difference.
