I'm not a light-hearted person, so I can't think light-hearted at work.
I write, but I also act.
If we all knew we were going to live to be 150 years old, we'd all approach our lives very differently.
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.
If all I ever wrote about was inner city freaks, I think it would be dishonest.
I provide the bricks and mortar with the words and situations - the director and the actors and the designers build the house.
