More From Tony Kushner

What is illusion? m.: to whom is the illusion? find it out. then illusion will vanish. generally people want to know about illusion and do not examine to whom it is. it is foolish. illusion is outside and unknown. but the seeker is considered to be known and is inside. find out what is immediate, intimate, instead of trying to find out what is distant and unknown.

Banks and churches and courtrooms all depend on the appurtenances of theatre. on illusion. banks, the illusion of stability and honourable dealings to the rot and corruption of capitalist exploitation. churches the illusion of sacred sanctuary of purposes of pacifying social discontent. courtrooms of course designed to promote the illusion of solemn justice. if there was true justice why would such trappings be necessary? wouldn't a table and chairs and an ordinary room serve just as well?

Our moral reasoning is plagued by two illusions. the first illusion can be called the wag-the-dog illusion: we believe that our own moral judgment (the dog) is driven by our own moral reasoning (the tail). the second illusion can be called the wag-theother-dog's-tail illusion: in a moral argument, we expect the successful rebuttal of an opponent's arguments to change the opponent's mind. such a belief is like thinking that forcing a dog's tail to wag by moving it with your hand will make the dog happy.

I could play a cop, i could play a crook, i could play a lawyer, i could play a dentist, i could play an art critic-i could play the guy next door. i am the guy next door. i could play catholic, jewish, protestant. as a matter of fact, when i did the odd couple, i would do it a different way each night. on monday i'd be jewish, tuesday italian, wednesday irish-german-and i would mix them up. i did that to amuse myself, and it always worked.

You know, a lot of things changed. what never changed is the illusion to keep playing tennis, the illusion to keep doing well the things, and the illusion to be in a good position of the ranking and play these kind of matches.

I decided that i want to live the rest of my life happy with what i'm doing. so when i play tennis again, i have to play it for the right reason. i don't want to play to get my no. 1 ranking back. i don't want to play for the attention, or to earn more. i don't even want to play because the world wants to see me do it, even though it's nice to know that the world is interested. i only want to play because i love the game, which is the reason i began to play at age seven in the first place.
