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 tried to start a theatre in LA and failed miserably, but I was probably not meant to raise money.

My fault now is making my plays too short.

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

Plays are so much more special if they've never ever had a production, but I think you can really work on a play and make it better with each production.

There are probably brilliant people, geniuses, alive today who don't even know how to say, "Hello, how do you do?" because their minds are absorbed with electronic images.

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