I write, but I also act.

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

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

There is nothing more boring than people who love you.

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

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

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