My dad had a lot of bad luck. You could see his suffering, his terrible suffering, living a life that was disappointing and looking for another one.

I had a definite sense of somehow being a passenger in an evil vehicle crusing through Paradise.

[Rewriting is] a whole other art form; it's about craftsmanship.

I'm a writer. The more I act, the more resistance I have to it. If you accept work in a movie, you accept to be entrapped for a certain part of time, but you know you're getting out. I'm also earning enough to keep my horses, buying some time to write.

I've come to feel that if I can't make something happen in under an hour and a half, it's not going to happen in a compelling way in a three-hour play.

Ive been so spoiled in the theater, writing plays where I can just do exactly what I want and nobody messes with me.

Words are tools of imagery in motion.
