I've worked really hard, but I know people who have worked even harder but didn't have the chances I've had.

My plays tend to be peopled with outsiders in search of clarity.

With studio work, I'm always the bottom man on the totem pole.

I've been pretty well treated by the critics, but the critics who didn't like my comedies hated them with an unbridled passion, and then I would see these same people writing very respectfully about ordinary naturalistic plays.

I've worked really hard, but I know people who have worked even harder but didn't have the chances I've had.

From a young age, I was rubbing elbows with a very different kind of person and social class, and I felt a lot of tension and conflict in my identity because of that.

I'm going to do whatever interests me. Look, writing 'Rabbit Hole' came out of an interest in diversifying my portfolio, frankly.
