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

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 find it fascinating to think about what the world is going to be like when people won't talk anymore.

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.

It was kind of enlightening to become a playwright.

But here's the thing: what you do as a screenwriter is you sell your copyright. As a novelist, as a poet, as a playwright, you maintain your copyright.

I love writing for the screen.
