It is my contention that most people are not mugged every day, that most people in this world do not encounter violence every day. I think we prepare people for violence, and I think just as importantly we prepare people for the definition of being gentle. |
It requires more strength to be gentle, so it's the everyday encounters of life that I think we've prepared children for and prepared them to be good to other people and to consider other people. |
Play is the work of children. It's very serious stuff. |
The children should never be excluded from what I am doing and should never have the feeling of being part of an audience. |
