When your voice contradicts reality and truth, the only way to create space for it is to discredit reality and truth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Your belief system saturates the space around you.
If you destroy the credibility of those people or institutions that could undermine your own, you create an opportunity for your voice, however irresponsible or misleading it may be, to gain traction.
You create your own reality.
You really have to try hard to create space and, at least for a time, stop the political world from rushing in. The important thing is to remain sane.
When you sit down to write, you have to be prepared to strip all of those voices away, all of the censors away, and talk about what you think the truth is, which I think is really the task of the writer - to get to the truth.
Firstly I did it in this huge theatre in Avignon, then to smaller places, then bigger places. You have to change the volume of the voice, give more or less. The way you have to relate to space makes it like sculpture.
We know how to speak many falsehoods that resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things.
Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.
When I create a false reality, I always try to create a plausible structure to help convince people.
