“One can never go back. One always has to move forward.”

“God never goes back; he always moves forward. ... God always wants our future to be bigger than our past, and God always moves forward.”

“Sometimes," he said, "it is necessary to go back before we can move forward.”

“You can never go back, really, there is only forward.”

“Truth in theatre is always on the move. As you read this book, it is already moving out of date. it is for me an exercise, now frozen on the page. but unlike a book, the theatre has one special characteristic. It is always possible to start again. In life this is myth, we ourselves can never go back on anything. New leaves never turn, clocks never go back, we can never have a second chance. In the theatre, the slate is wiped clean all the time.In everyday life, "if" is a fiction, in the theatre "if" is an experiment. In everyday life, "if" is an evasion, in the theatre "if" is the truth. When we are persuaded to believe in this truth then the theatre and life are one. This is a high aim. It sounds like hard work. To plays needs much work. But when we experiences the work as play, then it is not work anymore. A play is play.”

“To look in the face of hard things and keep moving forward - that's what one has to do.”
