“I was just on Broadway for four months, and the amount of fan mail that arrived at the theater was just overwhelming. I mean, I had no idea!

“The theater itself is so archaic and old fashioned, that it doesn't really matter to me whether it's on Avenue D or at the Helen Hayes Theater. What's the difference? It's still a very nostalgic form. Also, it means you're knowingly walking into a room where there's actors. I feel it's very embarrassing. Because, you know, they're right there. You always think like, they can see you, and I think it's mortifying, frankly, and I hate to sit near the front, where you feel they actually might see you. It's too ... it's too live.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsMeanStillsMatterMightFormHateActorsDifferencesRoomsFrontsWalkingI HateTheaterEmbarrassingOld FashionedAvenuesNostalgicHelen Author:Fran Lebowitz
“Life is sacred. Life is art. Life is sacred art. The art of sacred living means being a holy actor, acting from the soul rather than the ego. The soul is out of space and time and hence always available, an ever-present potential of our being. It is up to each of us to celebrate and to actualize our being and to turn each meal, conversation, outfit, letter, and so on, into art. Every mundane activity is an opportunity for full authentic self-expression. The soul is our artistic self, our capacity for transforming every dimension of our lives into art and theater.” MeanArtSoulSelfLife IsTurnsActorsOpportunitySpaceActingOur LivesExpressionHolyActivityConversationEgoCapacityLettersTheaterSacredAvailableCelebrateArtisticMealsDimensionsTime And SpaceTransformingMundaneSelf ExpressionAuthentic SelfArt LifeSacred Art Author:Gabrielle Roth
