My theater has always been a political battle on the stage.

All forms of power - even based on the consensus of the democratic system - react when they are being attacked, or when those who exercise power become a target.

Life has always treated me well. I therefore won't mind leaving it behind.

I felt like an extraordinary hero. I was only five or six and I had the whole of life in my hands. Even if I had been driving the carriage of the sun I could not have felt any better.
