MF: There are a lot of subgroups of people that deserve their go at the monologues. For example, cancer sufferers. I mean, cancer is such a hugely ranging illness that it would easily eat up six monologues. So I think, realistically, my hopes are that each individual gets more work. Would I like to do another one like this, but call it "Duologues," and spend a year putting the people together? Would it be two crips? Would it be a famous actor and a crip in a duologue, to attract lots of attention to it? All these are possible. I don't want to name names, but . . .

MF: And two that come to mind, and the only reason they didn't — 'cause they were fascinated by the idea — was because they were already busy, 'cause famous people tend to be working all the time.
PS: They do, don't they?
