My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.

When people ask me what I do for a living, I always say, "I get rejected for a living." And that's true.

I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that

I tried not to make God this big deal in Joan's life. She treats God like a friend: she's nice to him some days, and other days mean, and then cries when she needs help.

I liked the humor of it, I've always enjoyed a sense of humor in God and in religion and in spirituality

Other people like Neil Young and Dennis Hopper, those are just really close knit family friends.

People who have seen me read usually come up afterwards and invite me to be a part of something.
