Every day I wake up, there's a little part of my brain that's thinking I might die in a terrorist attack today.

I'm a sucker for double meanings in titles.

In terms of theater itself, no story is too strange or method of telling it too impossible these days. In many ways, musical theater has caught up with straight theater in that it's allowed more surreality and breaking of form, and that's really exciting to me - the challenge is getting people to produce those shows.

I love writing stories about regular people dealing with life's biggest questions.

It's an incredible privilege to be able to sit in front of a computer and spend a few hours just thinking and writing.

The real skill of being a writer is being able to take your inspired moments, and make them work as a whole, through the unromantic, daily hard work.

I take a lot of inspiration from the people I work with, and having many collaborators keeps me challenged and inspired.
