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

I don't mind him not talking so much, because you can hear his voice in your heart; the same way you can hear a song in your head even if there isn't a radio playing; the same way you can hear those blackbirds flying when they're not in the sky

I try not to write more than two or three, I try to just write one if possible, I write till the end at least a draft of a play or a novel; but sometimes, I'll take a break for a couple weeks for a project that is paying me money like a television project which I try to stay away from just to stay financially ahead of the game.

It's been hard for me to not write, and that's the only process I can speak to I guess, it's so compulsive and I need to do it all the time that sometimes I make myself not do it so I can actually tend to my life.

When it's just a few scenes and a couple of actors behaving in a room, I feel very confident with that.

I find auditioning to be a very illusive process, where actors come in with this really big result with no process, so it's a lie already at work.

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.
