Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.
In ‘Twice Born’ I play my character in her 20s, 30s and 50s. For the fifty year old scenes, I had some prosthetics; it was interesting to see how I’m going to look when I’m fifty-five or so. I actually saw similarities between my grandmothers and my mother.

I never know what I’m going to talk about until I get on stage. I never give the same lecture twice, which is why I’ll have people follow me from place to place like Deadheads.
