It's really interesting that whenever you do something that is so out of character, like having an emotional outburst, that you don't get in trouble.

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'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.

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

In movement class, you had to lie on the floor and get your alignment in to pass the class.

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.
