I believe there's a common ground in what all gifted writers write. It has to do with their wish to turn darkness into light.

I try to say something about the human condition whenever I can when I'm lucky.

I'm an obsessive person. I like intensity.

I got married because I wanted to do something that was more than I understood, because my feelings were more than I understood.

Our actions are the ground we walk on.

I think it's fair to say I'm attracted to playing characters who are rather intense.

I grew up in Synagogue in the boys' choir. We didn't listen to music in the house; only at temple. Then I went to a mostly African American high school on the South Side of Chicago and joined a gospel choir.
