I Try To Find Out What There Is In The Character That In A Way, You Can't Put Into Words. If I Could Put It Into Words, Then It Wouldn't Be A Performance. And If I Do Put It Into Words, As I Play It, I Start To Get Boxed In By Those Words.

Artists Try To Say Things That Can't Be Said. In A Fragile Net Of Words, Gestures, Or Colors, We Hope To Capture A Feeling; A Taste; A Painful Longing. But The Net Is Always Too Porous, And We Are Left With The Sweet Frustration Of Almost Knowing, Which Is Teasingly Pleasurable.
