I find it fascinating to think about what the world is going to be like when people won't talk anymore.

I grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, really in suburbia, so my mother was in community theatre plays.

It's called Sisters of the Winter Madrigal. It was interesting for me to see it done after so many years; because I wrote it and I didn't realize what a rage I was in.

And all writing is creating or spinning dreams for other people so they won't have to bother doing it themselves.

I was just restless with being in school; so I went out to Los Angeles.

What I loved about the acting class was that you got to think all day long about a person that wasn't you, and figure out why they were sad and what they wanted, what they dreamed.

I love to work, although sometimes I can spend whole days doing nothing more than picking the lint off the carpet and talking to my mother on the phone.
