It's strange, people have asked me what my schedule is and what is my process like, and I can't even answer it.

Sometimes when I'm directing, the stage manager will have a good idea and that's okay with me.

I think there is a complicated side effect to overcoming evil in that we are forever changed by it. I think after we ingest some of the cruelty of the world, it takes years off of our lives, but it also gives us wisdom and a little grace, hopefully a sense of compassion.

I don't like the sort of hierarchical, totalitarian type of room a lot of directors can find themselves in.

My work is always more emotional than I am. My characters say things to each other that I get accused of not being able to say to my girlfriend.

When I am directing, it is much, much, much, much, much different. I'm a much more practical person in the world, I show up on time, I am very rigorous about scheduling, and I am very focused. But when I'm writing I am just a big, irresponsible mess and I'm just impossible to get in touch with, and I don't spend time with friends.

Fifteen years ago I killed my sister.
