I provide the bricks and mortar with the words and situations - the director and the actors and the designers build the house.

It's my duty as a human being to be pissed off.

I do write about people who are complex and are striving with something and can't quite get past their own stuff, which would be a proxy for myself because that's what the deal is with me.

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

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

If you say city to people, people have no problem thinking of the city as rife with problematic, screwed-up people, but if you say suburbs - and I'm not the first person to say this, it's been said over and over again in literature - there's a sense of normalcy.

From my perspective of a guy in his late forties, its becoming more and more clear to me that the right thing to do and the wrong thing to do all depend on what part of life you are looking at it from.
