There's so much great stuff out there. The artists who've been most formative to me are the ones I've had the privilege to work with over the years.

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

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

The liveness of theater, and the excitement of experiencing it alongside an audience, is something you can't get at home. That makes the theater more vital than ever. It's definitely expensive, but I have faith that the market will keep recognizing the live experience as a valuable and important one.

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.

We live in an era where each of us has a massive catalog of film and television available through the internet at the swipe of a finger. To get folks out of their homes for a piece of art or entertainment, I think you need to offer something they can't get on Netflix or Amazon.
