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

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.

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

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.

My fault now is making my plays too short.

I'm very into the first production of the show.

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