I suppose it's a very highly developed form of denial, but some part of me completely denies that I'm a performer.

I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else!

We all live under some repression; we have to, it's part of the deal.

There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.

I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.
