I am interested in the gap between what people say and what they think - the undiscovered world of people's lives. Lives of quiet desperation.
Richard Eyre
Image
We can alleviate physical pain, but mental pain - grief, despair, depression, dementia - is less accessible to treatment. It's connected to who we are - our personality, our character, our soul, if you like.
Richard Eyre

Richard Eyre
Image
Change begins with understanding and understanding begins by identifying oneself with another person: in a word, empathy. The arts enable us to put ourselves in the minds, eyes, ears and hearts of other human beings.
Richard Eyre
