And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.”

“I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals Himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns Himself with fates and actions of human beings.”

“Charlie used to call me “Lonesome Pine.” There I was, walking the city late at night, doing my monologues from O’Neill and Shakespeare on the dark, silent streets, usually in back of warehouses. New York gave me the cool nights and the gift of empty streets to practice on. My audience was the stars and the buildings and the cars parked nearby. If anyone walked past, they would have thought I was crazy; if animal services drove by they’d have netted me like a stray dog. Then I’d get home to my room somewhere in the stratosphere of Manhattan island, alone again, and I’d ponder what the next day would bring. It always did bring something. Perhaps a new encounter, another usher job, or a trek downtown to Washington Square, where Charlie and I would sit and have Chock full o’Nuts coffee on some bench in that park in the middle of winter. Maybe I’d sleep on the stage at the Actors Gallery, like I did when I was performing in Creditors, and Charlie would meet me there in the morning. It was okay. It was all okay.”
