My job is to listen and to ask questions and to be respectful and win the trust of my subjects so that I can work my way into their memories and their point of view.

I think my job is hopefully to connect with people emotionally and to feel less alone or understand things in a certain way.

My job is to engage, entertain, work out my life, tell a certain truth.

To be in a position, at my age, where I am financially independent, I can help develop things, I can promote stuff that I believe in, I can say no a lot and spend time writing - that is a gift.

I love to work with people and do what I love.

From an egotistical point of view, I'm always interested in roles that push me as a person. I'm interested in humans as animals and as products of society.

For me, my role is about unleashing what people already have inside them that is maybe suppressed in most work environments.

Everything that I do has to be something new and something challenging, or with people that I want to work with. I take jobs for different reasons.

I relate to people and roles that are about the arc of human experience, things that everyday people deal with every day.
