Class is something I know about. I've lived it every day of my life, and it shaped me in my identity.

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

I dont want to work on a musical if Im not the lyricist.

The Pulitzer has nothing to do with me; it's more about people's perceptions of me, whatever they may be. I'm not being humble - I honestly do not and cannot think about that. It's a lovely piece of crystal on my bookcase, but that's all it is to me.
