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.

I'm very into the first production of the show.

Part of that is that New York has proved to be too much fun for me to live and work; I love New York so much.

That was always my inclination, to start on a new play before the other one gets done, because at least you'll have something to go back to if that play gets trashed.

I did write a couple of original screenplays, but I'd rather write plays.

It was kind of enlightening to become a playwright.
