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.

It's strange, people have asked me what my schedule is and what is my process like, and I can't even answer it.

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

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

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

When I am directing, it is much, much, much, much, much different. I'm a much more practical person in the world, I show up on time, I am very rigorous about scheduling, and I am very focused. But when I'm writing I am just a big, irresponsible mess and I'm just impossible to get in touch with, and I don't spend time with friends.
