It's very hard when you're doing a new play that you believe in, and you want to tell the story in the best way possible.

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.

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.

The only thing that matters is the theater!

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.

It's sort of scary to work with your parents when you're in the same business. But there was something so very safe about that. Acting with her was just like working with a wonderful actress who just happens to be my best friend and also my mother.

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.
