I thought I wanted to be a playwright because I was interested in stories and telling stories.

I like to work in the morning. I like to sometimes go to a place where I'm all alone where I'm not going to get a phone call early that hurts my feelings, because once my feelings are hurt, I'm dead in the water.

In kindergarten that used to be my job, to tell them fairytales. I liked Hans Christian Andersen, and the Grimm fairy tales, all the classic fairy tales.

We had access to too much equipment, too much money, and little by little we went insane.

But who said art has to cost money? And therefore, who says artists have to make money?

I had been a kid that moved so much, I didn’t have a lot of friends. Theater really represented that kind of camaraderie.

You're in a profession in which absolutely everybody is telling you their opinion, which is different. That's one of the reasons George Lucas never directed again.
