I have forgiven all the old actors for dying. a new one comes on with the same lines, like large white growths, in his mouth. the dancers come on from the wings, perfectly mated.

More From Anne Sexton

It's important to get well-rounded right off the bat. a lot of experienced dancers can get pigeonholed into one thing. i've been hired for a lot of different gigs simply because i can do a lot of different things with different levels of dancers. and it's sad to me that some dancers don't do more.

The apocalypse is now! americans know this, that the only hope is the flying saucers. do you know how i see the world? like a person who is dying. it's a worm who is dying to make a butterfly. we must not stop the worm from dying, we must help the worm to die to help the butterfly to be born. we need to dance with death. this world is dying, but very well. we will make a big, big enormous butterfly. you and i will be the first movements in the wings of the butterfly because we are speaking like this.

You work with every actor differently. it's like if you're a mother, if you have children, some children need more discipline. other children you back off of a little bit and let them be. it's the same way with actors. some actors need a lot of hand holding. other actors like to be let be and you let them go. some actors like to be nudged just a little bit. some actors don't mind line readings.

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

What is a country? a country is a piece of land surrounded on all sides by boundaries, usually unnatural. englishmen are dying for england, americans are dying for america, germans are dying for germany, russians are dying for russia. there are now fifty or sixty countries fighting in this war. surely so many countries can't all be worth dying for.

A number of african countries came to us and said, we request that south africa should not field a candidate, because so many other african countries wanted to, and, in any case, south africa would continue to play a role in terms of building the african union, and so on. and they actually said, please don't field a candidate, and we didn't. as i have said, it is not because we didn't have people who are competent to serve in these positions.

Think about it: iran, cuba, venezuela - these countries are tiny compared to the soviet union. they don't pose a serious threat to us the way the soviet union posed a threat to us.

Every child must be encouraged to get as much education as he has the ability to take. we want this not only for his sake - but for the future of our nation's sake. nothing matters more to the future of our country: not our military preparedness - for armed might is worthless if we lack the brainpower to build world peace; not our productive economy - for we cannot sustain growth without trained manpower; not our democratic system of government - for freedom is fragile if citizens are ignorant.
