Well, I'm not a critic, I'm just a worker. So, I'm always grateful for anything the critics say - good or bad.

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

My life exists in an imagined reality.

Everything I am came from my parents. I don't take that much credit for who I am and what I am.

I'm an obsessive person. I like intensity.

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.

In my prayers every day, which are a combination of Hebrew prayers and Shakespeare and Sondheim lyrics and things people have said to me that I've written down and shoved in my pocket, I also say the name of every person I've ever known who's passed on.
