I was definitely surprised when Talk Radio took off as a play. As a film it has become somewhere between a popular thing and a cult thing.

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.

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

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

I'm very underground.

I'm not hip, I'm not cool, I'm not glib.

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