I feel that I am just a storyteller, and whether I am wearing the director hat or the playwright hat, it doesn't matter.

I appreciate good criticism and I think it's really important. I don't like it when it's consumer advocacy, like how you should spend your $60. Great criticism is a kind of literature. I've written some criticism, and I really enjoy it because I think it's important for people to know that theatre is vital. Criticism is really unevenly distributed in this town. Obviously the power of the Times is discouraging. It's killing new plays, demolishing one after another.

I would hope that the staffs at juvenile detention centers and reform schools are carefully chosen so that there is a community of support and hope.

I feel that I am just a storyteller, and whether I am wearing the director hat or the playwright hat, it doesn't matter.

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

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.

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