“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
“I took a great deal of pleasure in it, and I still feel nostalgic about it. However, I felt that it had led me to live in a parallel world of pure invention, shut inside my solitude. Naturally, it was precisely for that purpose that it was made and that was why I took pleasure in it, but I wanted to regain body and roots.” WorldFeelsMadeStillsBodyWantedPurposeFeltPleasureDealsPureSolitudeRootsInventionParallelsNostalgic Author:Jean Dubuffet
