“One of the things that's great about doing a show over and over again... is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time... to continue to mine the material and find new things.” WayFirstsShowsMinesMaterialsHappeningsFirst TimeNew ThingsSpontaneous Author:Bebe Neuwirth
“I've always had a bazillion songs in my archive, but I want to play people stuff they know.

“I've been essentially not only deconstructing and reconstructing the material to make it suitable for the performance, but I've gone back and found some older material that's appropriate for the show and I've re-recorded that as well in kind of a newer format.

“The immaterial blue colour shown at Iris Clert's in April had in short made me inhuman, had excluded me from the world of tangible reality; I was an extreme element of society who lived in space and who had no means of coming back to earth.

“As South Korea shows, active participation in international trade does not require free trade. Indeed, had South Korea pursued free trade and not promoted infant industries, it would not have become a major trading nation. It would still be exporting raw materials (e.g., tungsten ore, fish, seaweed) or low-technology, low-price products (e.g., textiles, garments, wigs made with human hair) that used to be its main export items in the 1960s.” HumansDoeMadeStillsShowsUsedNationsTechnologyMaterialsProductsHairIndustryMajorsLowsTradeSouthInternationalFishesActiveUsed To BeParticipationTradingInfantItems1960sKoreaPursuedGarmentsRaw MaterialsFree TradeWigsSeaweedSouth KoreaTextilesInternational TradeExportingActive Participation Book:Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism Source: Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism

“If history could prove and teach us anything, it would be the private ownership of the means of production as a necessary requisite of civilization and material well-being. All civilizations have up to now been based on private property. Only nations committed to the principle of private property have risen above penury and produced science, art, and literature.
