We must never, ever be boring.

Chuck Palahniuk

The cure for boredom is curiosity.
There is no cure for curiosity.

If curiosity leads to imagination,
imagination will lead to creativity.

Three quotations today. A special deal. Three for the price of one.

One day I was addressing a group of high school seniors somewhere in the south. Thye were drama students and very bright. They asked me a lot of intelligent questions about my career and,finally one boy asked the inevitable, generic question, the simple question with the complicated answer: "What is life like in the theatre?"

My response was something like this. "Life in the theatre is difficult, interesting, exciting, fulfilling, aggravating, frustrating, satisfying, joyous, infuriating, insecure, problematic, frightening, exhausting, exhilarating, confusing, uproarious, dangerous, debilitating, energizing, mysterious, educational, unpredictable, rewarding, maniacal, disturbing, fantastical, rude, unreasonable, insane, friendly, irrational, uncomfortable, vivifying, curious, laborious, enlightening, creative, consuming, remarkable, inspiring and hard.

But the one thing it never is, is boring.
