It feels like when I write, it's intuitive. This is true of Frances, and it's true of this [The Funniest Movie Of The Summer].

I'm far too middle-class to morally object to a paying job.

There are a million little things, but one of the best ways to get to know characters is to just put them in situations and see what they say.

There's no such thing as cheating when you're 18. That's just true. I'm very endeared by this notion of the way adolescents practice being grown ups and practice for adult morality. I remember when I was 15 and people were starting to date and someone cheated on someone. They'd say, 'He cheated on her. You know what they say, once a cheater always a cheater.'

I think in theater the playwright is king. Those words are unchangeable. They are the reason that everything else flows from.

I think... I love Los Angeles. I live in New York, and I love New York as well, but I think Los Angeles is a place where if you have the right person with you, there are all these little worlds that you would never guess by just looking at the exterior of what the city is.

I'm interested in the feeling of getting to zero after a play, like you're never going to do it again. That's a really scary feeling.
