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

When I'm directing, I'm pretty much not writing, but when I'm not directing I am writing a lot.

I don't put big concepts on my work, and it's all often about keeping actors in a room together and not letting them leave.

I've been living in Portland for five months and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I probably won't really know for years because that's how it works right? You don't really develop feelings about a place till you've left it. It's like a girl or a dog.

I find that more and more I'm trying to entertain myself when I'm working, because I know the work's going to go to a horrible place.

I feel that I am just a storyteller, and whether I am wearing the director hat or the playwright hat, it doesn't matter.

You have to escape to survive, as you must survive to escape.
