Good advice from Jonathan Harris’ fourth grade teacher, Baz:
“I was trying to impress the audience with smart answers to life’s big questions,” he said. “It was all hype. But then I realized I didn’t have the answers to life’s big questions, and instead of writing plays that pretended to, I had to write plays that simply asked the right questions. I had to bring the audience up on stage with me, include them in the answering.”
Not a million miles away from Russell’s bee-keeping advice:
“Always push the bees the way they want to go”
The rest of Harris’ vignettes are worth a read too.
