## Quotes

* Having grown up watching Hong Kong movies with gorgeous Chinese leads and casts, I didn’t feel starved of representation the way I might likely have felt if I had grown up Asian American in the US, or as a minority race in Singapore…
** On not being as starved for Asian representation as opposed to Asian Americans in “A Secret Cut in History: Amanda Lee Koe Interviewed by Leah Dworkin” in BOMB Magazine (2019 Jul 11)
* When writing, I often feel like I’m having an out-of-body experience in which I’m as ageless, sexless, classless, raceless as I can ever humanly get…I have to forget myself so I can be fully committed to understanding my character’s motivations in a way that isn’t facile or boxed in…
** On finding voices for her characters in “A Secret Cut in History: Amanda Lee Koe Interviewed by Leah Dworkin” in BOMB Magazine (2019 Jul 11)

## Quotes

* "At school I was very passionate about music, drama and sport. We had a big kayaking focus at our school, and I was kayaking captain. I was also music captain and played the clarinet. In fact, I almost applied to do music at university. I was debating between music and science and then I had this moment when I was at schoolies in Byron Bay."
* "“I took myself off one morning and sat on the beach, and I remember thinking to myself, ‘What do I want to do with my life?’ It seems very naïve now, but I wrote down, ‘I want to save the world from environmental pollution.’”"
* "My parents both have a very strong ethos around social justice and were very passionate about helping in the community. It was never something they talked about, but my parents, both in their work and in the way that they showed up in the world, contributed to the community."
* “You are always striving. That’s something I’ve found in my life; I’m always trying to push for something to be different, for things to change in the world. Sometimes I think it would be nice to just not try and change anything, to just sit with it, but that’s not in my personality. I’m always interested in how things can be better.”
* “The ideas around circular economy and so forth are a major philosophical change in that previously we have thought there is an outside to the environment that we live in, that there is always ‘somewhere else’ that we can put our waste. The truth is that there is only one environment, and we all have to live here. So anything that is ‘waste’ must be an input to some other process that is useful.”

* "Clean energy is the cheapest source of new power and in the Australian context, electricity prices have been rising because our electricity system is aging. It's inefficient. It's polluting. So, replacing that energy system with clean technology, with renewables, with storage, is absolutely a critical part of the recovery puzzle. "

## Quotes

* I for one (I am sure there are others) rail against the increasingly mediated world we live in, where experience comes packages and second-hand. But we must acknowledge that the majority of the global population will not have the opportunity to visit Trinity Hall, Cambridge to see a 15th-centry representation of Helen of Troy, or travel to Athens to visit the Kerameikos Museum, or cross the Isthmus Canal to appreciate Corinth's strategic importance. Nor will they have the time in their working day to sit in a quiet room and spend an uninterrupted morning reading and digesting an academic publication as academics can (sometimes).

# Betrayal

Betrayal (or treachery) is the breaking or violation of a presumptive contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals, between organizations or between individuals and organizations. Often betrayal is the act of supporting a rival group, or it is a complete break from previously decided upon or presumed norms by one party from the others. Someone who betrays others is commonly called a traitor or betrayer. Betrayal is also a commonly used literary element and is often associated with or used as a plot twist.

## Gloria Henner

* [romantically] Oh, Oscar... go fuck yourself!

## Stevie Dee

# Beto O'Byrne

Beto O'Byrne is an American playwright.

## Quotes

* …It’s more complex because the longer I am writing, and living, I am coming to understand that there is a deep truth that we all have these experiences in some way or another. While we might not all be multi-ethnic (or at least not consciously presenting or celebrating it), we all have multiple identities at play. And it’s not just our genetic or familial cultures, but our societies, our social circles, all the complex ways we come to be who we are.
** On how multiple identities fit into his work in “SIN MUROS: INTERVIEW WITH “THE CORRIDO OF THE SAN PATRICIOS” PLAYWRIGHT BETO O’BYRNE” in The Theatre Times (2019 Jan 24)
* …I think borders do not protect us, they wall us in. I think White Supremacy can be defeated by people reclaiming their histories and seeing how structural racism once excluded many from Whiteness that it now includes–a testament to its problematic construct. I think cultures, like our personal identities, are fluid, not rigid, and inform each other, and we should celebrate that as well. I believe that when we see this history, we can understand that the people and the forces that are working so damn hard these days to keep us separated from one another are a part of the long arc of history that has been doing so since this country began, and probably well before that…
** On his play Sin Muros in “SIN MUROS: INTERVIEW WITH “THE CORRIDO OF THE SAN PATRICIOS” PLAYWRIGHT BETO O’BYRNE” in The Theatre Times (2019 Jan 24)
* …see theatre that moves you, theatre that challenges you, and theatre that bores you to the point that, as a beautiful human being once told me, instead of focusing on the performance, you begin attempting to levitate in your chair…

    Jerry: Nevertheless. [he holds her] I was best man at your wedding. I saw you in white. I watched you glide by in white.
    Emma: I wasn't in white.
    Jerry: You know what should have happened? I should have had you, in your white, before the wedding. I should have blackened you, in your white wedding dress, blackened you in your bridal dress, before ushering you in your wedding, as your best man.
    Emma: My husband's best man. Your friend's best man.
    Jerry: No. Your best man.

    Emma: I'm not.
    Jerry: You're so beautiful. Look at the way you look at me.
    Emma: I'm not... looking at you.
    Jerry: Look at the way you're looking at me. I can't wait for you, I'm bowled over, I'm totally knocked out, you dazzle me, you jewel, my jewel, I can't ever sleep again, no, listen, it's the truth, I won't walk, I'll be a cripple, I'll descend, I'll diminish, into total paralysis, my life is in your hands, that's what you're banishing me to, a state of catatonia, do you know the state of catatonia? Do you? The state of... where the reigning prince is the prince of emptiness, the prince of absence, the prince of desolation. I love you.
    Emma: My husband is at the other side of that door.
    Jerry: I adore you. I'm madly in love with you. I can't believe that what anyone is at this moment saying has ever happened has ever happened. Nothing has ever happened. Nothing. This is the only thing that has ever happened. Your eyes kill me. I'm lost. You're wonderful.
    Emma: No.
    Jerry: Yes.

## Quotes

* Every time I went down the aisle, I was totally, 100 percent in love. I loved being in love. And the downside was, I really was attracted to men very opposite from myself. You know, that old story. You know, if you're warm, they're cold. If you're a hard worker, maybe they're lazy. If you were realist, they're a pessimist?...

* ...On one side, there was super, super conservative, regular girl-next-door. And on the other side, there was this kind of fantasyland, pretend, dancing-school, wonderfulness: you know, the hair, the makeup, the costumes, the music, the recital halls. I mean, so for me, I needed that balance.
** On the duality of her upbringing in “Betsey Johnson Talks Fashion, Love And Motherhood In Self-Titled Memoir” in NPR (2020 Apr 19)

** On how she differs from her public persona in “Betsey Johnson also has a low-key, private side: ‘I'm too much for myself to live up to’” in Salon (2020 Apr 10)
* It took me quite a while to learn how to do the corporate dance. I was just too defensive. I just got involved with too much and I don't have to do that. All my companies that I work with have been around for years with me. They got the brand down. They keep it going in a really good way. I realized one day I am not going to love all the people around me. I did with my company, because we really ran it like a family. Everybody loved everybody else, and they still do. I still have my pink lady sorority club going on.
