Theatre / Musical Theatre;
Directing and working with kids;
Great writers like Woolf and Doctorow;
People - they're fascinating to watch.
This picture pretty much sums me up:
from The Book of Questions
III.
Tell me, is the rose naked
or is that her only dress?
Why do trees conceal
the splendor of their roots?
Who hears the regrets
of the thieving automobile?
Is there anything in the world sadder
than a train standing in the rain?
-Pablo Neruda
