Sometimes when I'm directing, the stage manager will have a good idea and that's okay with me.

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 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.

My life has been in shambles, like my personal relationships, my laundry, paying bills now I have someone who pays my bills and it's always been a challenge because it overwhelms me.

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

We only have so much time.... Time will kill you – it really will.

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
