...minun mielestni nykyinen teatteri vain pelkk rutiinia, ennakkoluuloa. Kun esirippu nousee ja nuo suuret kyvyt, pyhn taiteen papit ja papittaret, esittvt kolmiseinisess huoneessa iltavalaistuksessa miten ihmiset syvt, juovat, rakastavat, kvelevt, miten kantavat pukuaan, kun he halpahintaisista kuvaelmista ja korulauseista koettavat onkia esiin moraalia? pient, helppotajuista, kotioloissa tarvittavaa moraalia, kun minulle tuhansien eri muunnosten muodossa tarjotaan aina vain yht ja samaa, yht ja samaa, yht ja samaa? niin min juoksen pakoon, juoksen pakoon kuin Maupassant Eiffel-tornia, joka pusersi hnen aivojaan lattaudellaan.

I say let's go back to a truer use of the word 'freedom.' Let's start with President Franklin Roosevelt's Four Freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. I would add the freedom to bargain collectively. Those freedoms are under attack today.

My generation was secretive, brooding, ambitious, show-offy, and this generation is congenial. Totally. I imagine them walking around with GPS chips that notify them when a friend is in the vicinity, and their GPSes guide them to each other in clipped electronic lady voices and they sit down side by side in a coffee shop and text-message each other while checking their e-mail and hopping and skipping around Facebook to see who has posted pictures of their weekend.
