I feel like the writer observing the grief, but it is difficult to be detached from it.

My grandmother made dying her life's work.

I don't think anyone is the perfect one to play me.

I'm a much nicer person since my wife died. I found out what pain is, so on that level I'm much nicer.

We are all the foolishness and all the crimes we did. We're also all the kindnesses we did. I hate to think of life as if we understood time. We don't understand time.

I've always believed in survival.

My father I liked, but it was only after his death that I got to know him by writing the play.
