For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me.

Ensemble is hard to do. It's like 3-D chess.

I'm always surprised by things that happen to my work.

I started acting when I was in high school, started writing when I got to New York in 1975.

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.

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