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.

As soon as the dirt is hitting the casket, it'll all be forgotten.

If all I ever wrote about was inner city freaks, I think it would be dishonest.

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

I write, but I also act.

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

I write my plays to create an excuse for full-tilt acting and performing.
