A typical day for me is I'm writing when I'm not directing.

I've never really felt good at the parties, but I have enough friends now that I feel social, I used to feel very antisocial, but I think the theater helps.

We only have so much time.... Time will kill you – it really will.

I think auditioning can be very reductive and I just hate how actors work really hard and most of them aren't going to get the job, and I hate putting them through that.

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.

Fifteen years ago I killed my sister.

I had a sort of bad experiences as a playwright early on, when directors were putting in huge concepts that I didn't intend, or they were stylizing something that was compromising the play, so I started to think like, "well if I'm going to fight against this, I should learn how to direct".
