I've Been Working In Theater, Really, Since About 1965. I Started Working With The Mabou Mines About Then, And In A Way I've Always Worked In The Theater, But It's Never Been A Main Part Of My Work. And It Wasn't Until Einstein That I Kind Of Shifted Into High Gear With Theater, Working With Bob, With Bob Wilson. And Since Then I Find It A Very Attractive Form To Work In. It's Just An Extension Of My Work.

So The Real Drama For Me Is Balancing Live Performances And Writing, And One Of The Ways I Balance It Is I Write In Hotel Rooms. That's Not Exactly Balancing. Actually, Writing In Hotel Rooms Means That I'm Refusing To Deal With The Problem.

I Don't Know That I Make A Big Distinction Between The Big Pieces And The Little Pieces, Because I Don't Experience Them In That Way. I Mean, By The Same Token, You're Out Touring With A Band And Then You're Writing String Quartets, And In A Funny Way, Isn't It All The Same, In A Way? It's All Just Music.

I Find That People Can’t Find You. It’s Kind Of Quiet. When I Go To A City, I Can Almost Always Get A Piano If I Need One. So There’s Something Nice About Being On The Road And Focusing On Something You Want To Do.
