Even With My Wife, I Find Sharing

"the Fever" Is A One-person Play. I Decided I Would Perform It Myself, And I Decided I Would Not Perform It In Theaters, Because The Character In The Play Says Certain Things That I Meant.

I Grew Up. I Began To Think The United States Had Some Problems That Really Required The Help Of Artistic People To Solve. And I Gave Myself Permission To Be A Writer Instead Of A Civil Servant.

In An Amusement Park, You Can Go On A Roller Coaster That Carries You Up And Down, Or You Can Go On Another Kind Of Ride That Whirls You Around In A Circle. Similarly, There Are Different Sorts Of Entertaining Experiences In The Theater.

My Personal Life Is Lived As 'me,' But My Professional Life Is Lived As Other People. In Other Words, When I Go To The Office, I Lie Down, Dream, And Become 'someone Else.' That's My Job.

I'm Being Mocked Because I Don't Live Up To A Socially Determined View Of What Other People Think A Person Should Look Like.
