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

The most glorious thing about working in the collaborative art is when you have somebody like Susan Kingsley or Kathy Bates who are better than your play.

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.

I love writing for the screen.

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 just loved being divorced from my own wretchedness.

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