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

My first few plays took place in the South and even The Lucky Spot was in the thirties but in Louisiana.

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.

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.

The impetus behind going to graduate school was a year after graduating from college spent in Dallas working at the dog food factory and Bank America and not having met success in my chosen field, which at that point was being an actress.

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.

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