Shock can kill you. Shock is terrible. But what you've got to do is live in the present, which is what I have always done.

I never deliberately set out to shock, but when people don't walk out of my plays I think there is something wrong.

I like to shock people.

I like shocking, but I don't like to shock as an automatic process. Sometimes it happens, but it's not my main drive.

It's not that I'm easily shocked. It takes a lot to shock me. And wildness I like. But vulgarity shocks me.

I don't set out to offend or shock, but I also don't do anything to avoid it.

I don't mind giving everyone a shock - including myself.

Being essentially a creator, I never set out to shock, always thinking about creating my work and not about the benefits it could produce.
