Ay, rail at gaming - 'tis a rich topic, and affords noble declamation. Go, preach against it in the city - you'll find a congregation in every tavern.

Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin' hymns is a great thing to do.
Work in the theater sharpened my verse and my cinema.
Political theatre presents an entirely different set of problems. Sermonising has to be avoided at all cost. Objectivity is essential. The characters must be allowed to breathe their own air. The author cannot confine and constrict them to satisfy his own taste or disposition or prejudice.
Theatre can be so patronising. So often, it's just proselytising for the theatre.
I like the notion of theater as recreational.
Being on Broadway is the modern equivalent of being a monk. I sleep a lot, eat a lot, and rest a lot.
Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation.
I'm not really looking for theater work. But if somebody approaches me with enthusiasm, I might respond.
Anything one can do to provoke and inspire an interest in the works of Shakespeare in a young audience is fair game. Anything.
If your church is the theatre, New York means a lot - it's a pilgrimage you want to make.
