Now there is this whole terror about getting old. Today, that fascination with youth is overrated. What’s so special about being young? I just say that because I’m old.
I haven’t done any ‘Fringe’ shows since I was about 17. Then I performed with my youth theatre in a show where we all had this old-fashioned make-up on and giggled through our lines.

One of my dreams in life is to do fund-raising for the youth.
I’ve been into Sonic Youth since junior high school. I think I kind of have ADD, so it’s good music for ADD because it just throws you in different directions all the time. I really like Kim Gordon’s voice and Thurston Moore’s voice, and I like the guitars going off on tangents.

Today riches and honours have been lavished on me, but one gift has been lacking, the most important one of all, the only one that matters, the gift of youth.
