" Sometimes I suspect that all of Sam Shepard's characters are really different aspects of his own personality. His works depict a distinctly American psyche in constant battle with itself, the open frontier, the anonymous landscape, the never-ending road, the random people along the way and the broken families they left behind. I read somewhere that he never flies because it's unnatural, humans shouldn't leave the ground or something along those lines. Interesting. "
