I'm very underground.

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

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

I write, but I also act.

It's a mental fake-out to myself. I make believe I'm making a new show so I forget the material I was working on and make up some fresh material.

I don't know anybody who does what I do. I'm very underground.

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.
