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

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.

Fifteen years ago I killed my sister.

I've never really felt good at the parties, but I have enough friends now that I feel social, I used to feel very antisocial, but I think the theater helps.

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

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

I don't like the sort of hierarchical, totalitarian type of room a lot of directors can find themselves in.
