I PERSONALLY don't PREFER ACTING and DIRECTING in something because I don't have the same objectivity.

You show a movie to your friends when you're working on it, but you don't have any real OBJECTIVITY. You just don't know. So that MOMENT when it's shown for the very FIRST TIME at Sundance, it's just TERRIFYING. I'm so anxious. And then every screening is different.

For PEER REVIEW, replication, and objectivity to make any headway on the continuum, for SCIENCE to find the right ANSWERS to anything, there have to be WRONG - or at least unlikely - answers.

Political theatre presents an entirely different set of PROBLEMS. Sermonising has to be avoided at all cost. OBJECTIVITY is ESSENTIAL. The characters must be allowed to BREATHE their own air. The AUTHOR cannot confine and constrict them to satisfy his own taste or disposition or prejudice.

After all, the ULTIMATE GOAL of all RESEARCH is not OBJECTIVITY, but TRUTH.
