In these times in America I am very moved and grateful that the Gish Prize has chosen to support diversity, controversy, complexity, and non-conformity. I am a collaborative artist, and I accept this recognition on behalf of the courageous artists who have opened and challenged new worlds and old, in a body of work that has created shared space on a divided planet.

[He is particularly proud of the inclusion in this scene of a petition signed by 70 scientists asking Truman not to bomb Japan. Leslie Groves, the crusty general who oversaw the Manhattan Project, made sure that the document never reached Truman.] What's beautiful, ... is to have documents that were quietly discarded in history now set for singers and orchestra for all the world to hear.

Obviously, he had this native intelligence, this sensitivity and this ability to move rapidly through a whole range of material, ... You could just feel him taking stuff in with that gadfly energy, that hummingbird energy, taking a little something from here, there and everywhere, taking a little something from everything.

It's an amazing, amazing work of art that extracts and exacts every drop of blood, ... It demands and pushes you past ... endurance, which is what art is supposed to do. This is just not another day at the mall. It's really asking the biggest questions and demanding very real answers.

The nightmare of all art, as well as of all politics, is generalities,

Truman is meeting Stalin at Potsdam, which is where all this pressure comes from for the test to work. Oppenheimer has been in these meetings in Washington to select the target, and it's full steam ahead to Japan.

The only thing that I will do that will annoy some people is I am taking poetic license a little bit with time and space onstage,

And the other great thing that we're allowed to do — and you're not — is use metaphor.

How old were you that night?

I was 22 years old. But I'm still here. And one reason I'm still here is that I've got lots of ionizing radiation. That's what's good for you, for your immune system. There have been a lot of studies that show that a low level of it is good for you. The problem is they don't know what the level should be.
