I find it difficult to be in rooms now for long periods of time. I can usually take it for about an hour. Then I stride out.

I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

I can't re-examine work I did in the past with pride.

If you remain unsettled by a piece of writing, it means you are not watching the story from the outside; you've already taken a step toward it.

The theater is a need for me. It's a terrible attraction, something I'm compelled to do. And one derives a form of nourishment from the theater which you can never get from films. Making films weakens you in some way. With the theater, the work itself is a regenerative process.

I am more greatly moved by people who struggle to express themselves...I prefer the abstract concept of incoherence in the face of great feeling to beautiful, full sentences that convey little emotion.
