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.

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

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.

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.

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

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