When people are filled to the brim with love, they are their most beautiful.

Money doesn't have anything have anything to do with the magnificence of a person. It doesn't. What matters is what you make. Whether it's a cake for bingo night or a costume for a saint or a wall of water-whatever you pour into this life is what makes you rich.

I began as a dramatist in the theater, so I'm always thinking about how a story moves, what it looks like, how to engage the senses, how dialogue sounds, what feels authentic and sounds real, what's funny, how to build distinctive and original characters - all the aspects of playwriting, scene-building, the architecture of dramatizing.

Art makes the spirit soar. And when the spirit is lifted, life follows.

I'm very organized - and the best thing - when you love your work, you don't mind putting in 15 hour days. It's joyful.

I love actors and I love to create an environment where they feel safe to connect and thrive and try things, to fail and succeed and flourish and fly.

It's the secret to happiness, you know. Only take what you need.
