If we all knew we were going to live to be 150 years old, we'd all approach our lives very differently.

I write for an audience that likes what I like, reads what I read, thinks about the things I think about. In many ways, this puts me in opposition to the people who go to the theater generally.

I'm not a light-hearted person, so I can't think light-hearted at work.

I love playing other people's work. I love acting.
