Collaborating with great artists on theater, opera, and film projects.What or who is the greatest love of your life?A fall day on the beach with Elliot and my dog, Luna, and the sea, sand, and sky.Vacillating between excitement about the beauty of nature, future projects, hope for positive change and utter disgust for the abuse of nature, cynicism about the reality of getting dream projects off the ground, and nagging fear that humans are bent on destruction.
The three months I planned on traveling to Indonesia and the four unplanned years I spent there after. In Africa: sleeping in the Kalahari Desert. Landing on a grass strip amid a herd of elephants. Floating down the Okavango Delta in a hollowed-out tree trunk, terrified of the hippos.A misunderstood and misused virtue is honor. It can easily transform into a weapon to abuse and control others.
A cloud: raining on those who need the water and those whom I just want to drench. Protecting people from the harshness of the sun and transforming into all shapes. I could disappear and leave not a trace behind, and at sunset I could cause the most magical painting across the skies.
