Introduction LANGUAGE IS WHAT I EAT. THEATRE IS WHAT I BREATHE. I don't need a Jerry McGuire to complete me – instead, show me a promising script with a willing cast and my heaven suddenly manifests on Earth. I’m interested in things outside the realm of theatre, too . . . Things you don’t really need to know: I’m probably one of the most garrulous shy people you will ever come across. I'm a 'study in sarcasm.' Or was it 'eccentricity?'

Whoops! Your tongue is now a magnet. Whatever will you use for silverware?

Well, I could ask the props department to fashion for me some utensils out of twigs and raffia. But perhaps I'll just chisel some chopsticks out of marble. Or maybe I'll go on a diet of pears for breakfast and raw onions for dinner, so I won't need utensils at all. This could be the impetus I need to give the Raw Foods lifestyle a shot.
