I think that just sitting down and having casual conversation is the hardest stuff to do. But the extremes? I know what it feels like to come racing around the corner at 90 miles an hour, sliding the car sideways. I know what gear I'm hitting it in when I'm coming around the corner and where I need to downshift. So to me, that's the fun stuff.

Walls turned sideways are bridges.

You have to approach God or whatever is there sideways, at an angle. Through dance or art or, okay, yoga, or breathing practices ? something that opens the doorways of the senses, makes you accessible, because God isn't accessible. You are.

My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn't there for him family was everything. We could disagree inside the house but outside the house it was us against the world. So when I became a drag actor he looked sideways but said okay.
