Quotes by Janet Hogan Chapman (?)

“It must be written down, the bad and the good. The stories and tales. The tears, the terror, the ours, the theirs. It must be preserved to show that we, yes WE, not us or them, but WE can move forward together. If not, then God help us all.”

“I spent most of my life trying to specialize myself. I went to theater school, film school, music school, mime school ... Finally, I was able to gather enough knowledge to build the confidence to create my own work, that goes utterly against the sense of specialization.”
