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

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.

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.

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.

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

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