“I used to think that joy was a place I wasn’t in but needed to move to.
Then I thought it was a practice that I just needed to work harder at.
But now I think that joy is not tripping over all my feet all the time.
Every time I get up in the morning and I don’t trip? I think that’s joy.”

“I think about Hélène: the night before we opened, when she smudged the theatre with Palo Santo and prayed for our success. How maybe her prayer had been only that we carry out our work, not that we were elevated for how we did it. Although that's nice, if it comes. It's just beyond the realm of prayer. Something even more tenuous than a wish. Nothing to stake a life on if you then intend to live the rest of that life.”
