I don't want to have the same vocabulary I've always had. I want something richer, broader, more penetrating and powerful.”

We are not free. And the sky can still fall on our heads. And the theater has been created to teach us that first of all.”

You should be giving ninety percent. Cause God can handle money better than we can.”
