We are suffocated by writers who want to enlighten us with their truths. For me, the theatre is beautiful because it is a secret, and secrets seduce us, we all want to share secrets.

I don't like sympathetic characters.

I have plenty of political views and plenty of social and personal prejudices. I do not, however, value them.
