The rooms I tend to be in are pretty democratic and the best idea wins.

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

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 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.

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

I've never really felt that I've had the right hair cut, or had the right clothes.

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.
