I grew up eating hamburger helper, macaroni and cheese, and drinking lots of milk, and looked at lots of cows; but I feel like a New Yorker now, I've lived here for sixteen years.

Whenever I've been in rehearsals, it's really fun, there's always laughing.

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.

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

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.

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 don't put big concepts on my work, and it's all often about keeping actors in a room together and not letting them leave.
