What I've learned in the last few years is that I am merely a storyteller.

I imagine a soul is a little perfect crystal egg floating in your chest. Somewhere deeper than where they put your heart. Somewhere so deep inside that the doctors can't find it with all their machines and microcameras.

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

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.

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

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

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