Beatriz Ferreyra: Are you conscious or not?

Jeffrey Wright: No. In fact, it's the opposite.

Ferreyra: It’s visual. [laughs] It doesn’t work.

Wright: Sure. Oh, yeah. I was just exhausted.

Ferreyra: You’re in your bed and you’re able to go see other people.

Wright: And we would go out and have these magical, magical days on the Chesapeake, you know, when it was a vibrant body of water.

Ferreyra: But we always shared the sound by shutting our eyes and feeling how one sound goes with another.

Wright: Yes, yes, yes. The pressure is when there's someone there who doesn't want to be there.

Ferreyra: Oh, yes, I know. Very near and very far.

Wright: One hundred percent.

Ferreyra: Everything.

Wright: Everything.

Ferreyra: Everything is a language, even the movement with your body says something. You see what I mean?

Wright: But again, that is at the forefront of the national discourse right now. I can't control the other stuff.

Ferreyra: You must do some exercises to learn this.
