"Teater itu sendiri sangat kuno dan kuno, sehingga tidak terlalu penting bagi saya apakah itu di Avenue D atau di Teater Helen Hayes. Apa bedanya? Itu masih merupakan bentuk yang sangat nostalgia. Juga, itu berarti Anda secara sadar berjalan ke sebuah ruangan di mana ada aktor. Saya merasa sangat memalukan. Karena, Anda tahu, mereka ada di sana. Anda selalu berpikir seperti, mereka bisa melihat Anda, dan saya pikir itu memalukan, terus terang, dan saya benci duduk di dekat depan, di mana Anda merasa mereka benar-benar mungkin melihat Anda. Terlalu ... terlalu hidup."

--- Fran Lebowitz

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The theater itself is so archaic and old fashioned, that it doesn't really matter to me whether it's on Avenue D or at the Helen Hayes Theater. What's the difference? It's still a very nostalgic form. Also, it means you're knowingly walking into a room where there's actors. I feel it's very embarrassing. Because, you know, they're right there. You always think like, they can see you, and I think it's mortifying, frankly, and I hate to sit near the front, where you feel they actually might see you. It's too ... it's too live.
