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

There must be some unwritten law that says about fifty people have to move into your house when somebody dies. If it weren't for the smell of death clinging to the walls, you might think it was your family's turn to host the month neighborhood potluck supper.

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

I think I'm a little more daunted by when the machinery of the play is really huge.

You can always count on the New York Times to cut your legs off.

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 think, for me, when I direct my own work it's just an extension of the authorship.
