I'm A Real Workaholic.

I See And Write Things First As An Artist, Second As A Woman, And Third As A New Yorker. All Three Have Built-in Perspectives That Aren't Neutral.

I Don't Care About Being Famous Or Having A Lot Of People Go, "she's Really Good."

It's Good To Take A Longer View And Think, What Would I Really Like To Do If I Had No Limitations Whatsoever?

Audiences, Whether They're Seeing A Film Or A Reading Or Whatever It Is, A Concert, They Decide Very Quickly What Kind Of Show It Is, And Then They Judge It. They Judge The Rest Of The Thing By Whether It Conforms To Their Rules For What A Good Symphony Orchestra Would Be.

As A New Yorker, I'm Someone Who Lives On An Island And Looks Across To America.
