You know, actually, I went to Yale because I wanted to stay out of the army.

I was enchanted by the escape into that meticulous world that seemed real yet not... well, it seemed not real, but very detailed and meticulous, bizarre.

Now, when I started my theater, the modus operandi was having the actors stare right into the audience.

I'm there to make a kind of theatrical music that is desperately missing in my life. And if other people don't like it, I'm very unhappy, but I can't do anything about that.

I acted in junior high in the junior high school group, and then when I got into senior high I was, you know, the main actor of the senior high school.

Understand--it ALWAYS makes sense. Sense can't be avoided. If it first seems to be non-sense, wait: roots will reveal themselves.

There is no work of art that has ever been made that is absolutely truthful about life.

A man without money is like a windmill left without the wind, don’t you ever forget this!

I can't let them see my doubts, or the wounds they've inflicted on me.

I don't know who described Mahathir [bin Mohamad] as a pillar of the Commonwealth, but they don't know what they're talking about.

If I don't understand it, it must be art.

Bear the burdens of others, but don't put them in your pocket too.

I'm very organised these days, and I keep my life in my handbag, like most women.

Want what you have. Do what you can. Be who you are.
