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.

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

It was kind of enlightening to become a playwright.

That's what I like about [smoking] . . . taking a drag off of death, Mmm! Gives me a sense of controlling my own destiny. What power! What exhilaration! Want a drag?

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.

My fault now is making my plays too short.
