“In my opinion, there's nothing new in the theatre, ever. Theatre-maker...” — Simon McBurney Quote

“In my opinion, there's nothing new in the theatre, ever. Theatre-makers are thieves, in the honourable tradition of charlatans. They fake it very, very well indeed for the entertainment of everybody else.”

“I've had various people close to me die, and I don't necessarily find the idea of death purely depressing.”

“I don't really think about a visual aspect to the work at all; I just think about making the piece. And everything that occurs visually comes out of the subject matter you are dealing with so that I find it difficult to treat the visual element as a separate entity.”

“In the theatre, we're all charlatans and liars and scavengers and fly-by-nights.”

“Hubspot's leaders were not heroes but rather a pack of sales and marketing charlatans who spun a good story about magical transformation technology and got rich by selling shares in a company that still has never turned a profit.”

“You can tell charlatans when they say 'big' in front of everything.”
