I write, but I also act.

I provide the bricks and mortar with the words and situations - the director and the actors and the designers build the house.

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

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

It's a mental fake-out to myself. I make believe I'm making a new show so I forget the material I was working on and make up some fresh material.

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.

There is nothing more boring than people who love you.
