Before I ever start a job that I'm really excited about, I usually have some sleepless nights or weeks or months. But that anticipation for a person like me... I don't do so well with a lot of time off.

I think every script I read has something that sends me into a state of panic but that usually makes me want to do it.

No, I'm not feminist. I'm not, not a feminist.

I can't actually think of a job where I was relaxed the whole time. I don't think I would want to do that job. When I break into a cold sweat when I'm reading, I think, 'Oh good. That's what's supposed to be happening.

I am my parents' daughter, and I always want to be. But I first wanted to make sure that I was standing on my own two feet.

I will say that I've been lucky enough never to have to do a job I didn't want to do, or a play I wasn't in love with.

When I was in high school and college, my other real focus was, actually, fiction writing. So in college, I had done all these seminars with these various writers-in-residence.
