I did have wonderful things to draw from, from my own experience and also just from friends and people I'd gone to school with who were very much immersed in this world right now.

For a long time I was cautious of working with my parents because I wanted to feel separate from them in the community. Now there's no more wasting time.

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.

When I was teeny tiny, I definitely had a voice that didn't quite match the way I looked at five.

Being a part of the theater community has been important to me from the time I was a child, through my parents.

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.

To get to go from stage to set and back, it keeps you feeling very present, and I think that's always such a wonderful thing in your work because you don't really have time to be as neurotic as I might become.
