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

I had never done a 90-minute play with no intermission, so it is a bit like you get onto the train and you don't get off until it's over - and it's over very quickly, so don't miss a moment of it. That experience is very rare and specific so don't miss a minute, because there aren't very many minutes of it.

I really like when I read a scene and it scares me. That makes me excited.

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

I re-read a lot of my college writing while we were in rehearsals, and it was so strange. It was wonderful to go back and revisit that part of my life. It did kind of make me hungry for it again.

The focus of our family life was homework and what was for dinner; getting to ballet rehearsal and getting my brother to soccer.

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.
