Everything is a railway junction where past and future are sliding over one another, not touching.

Nowness' is a dynamic relation between the past and the future.

It's very important that we keep our imagination, which is our capacity to open the future, awake at a time at which the urge to collapse into the fetal position is high.

An artist attunes to what things are, which means sort of listening to the future, which is just how things are - I think time is a sort of liquid that pours out of hatpins, underground trains, salt crystals. So a work of art is also listening to itself, because what it is never quite coincides with how it appears, too.

But inside, I'm going, 'Oh my God, is my zipper up? Do I have a booger in my nose?' That's my inner monologue.

Oh, God, I would love to go and do a play someplace.

Faith is not a commodity that you either have or don't have enough of, or the right kind of. It's an ongoing process. The opposite of faith is despair.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.
