That's the most stupid expression in the world. 'I fell in love'—as if you had no choice. There's a moment, there's always a moment; I can do this, I can give in to this or I can resist it. I don't know when your moment was but I bet there was one.

I'm constantly having to be vigilant with a depressive tendency, an addictive tendency.

Always when I directed the play, I was always trying to cast people not who were necessarily like the characters, but people who I felt had the essential component that the character had, some kind of soul for it.

Everything is a version of something else.

Alice: I don’t love you anymore. Goodbye. Dan: Since when? Alice: Now. Just now.

I don't want to lie. I can't tell the truth. So it's over.

I used to go with my parents and loved it, I was in school plays, and I started reading plays before I started reading novels. I'll defend it to the hilt. When theatre is good it is fabulous.
