I was a very self-righteous 15-25 year old. Anyway, I wake up every morning and thank God I'm not a kid anymore.

Writing is my primary way of expressing myself.

I don't enjoy hearing the sound of my voice. The most important things for me are impossible to articulate extemporaneously.

I'm terrible at speaking extemporaneously about my work - I get completely tongue-tied and consumed with fear.

I was raised by a single psychologist mother and we spent every evening sitting at the kitchen table and dissecting our emotions and speculating about the inner life of everyone we knew.

Film can express things that computers never will. Film is a series of photographs separated by split seconds of darkness. Film is light and shadow.

For me, on every project, I realize that I've boxed myself into a corner, or that the play necessitates some sort of theatrical convention that I realize I hate while I'm making it. So then the next play is always a rebellion. Or like, the thing I didn't even realize I was doing last time I will make sure I don't do this time. But there's always some other blind spot. And then that blind spot inspires the play that comes after.
