There are places where writing is acting and acting is writing. I'm not so interested in the divisions. I'm interested in the way things cross over.

I'll develop my own image. I'm an original man. A one and only. I just need some help.

It's hard to explain why exactly, but I think that when I began writing plays, it was from an actor's point of view more than anything. I had the feeling that if you put yourself in the position of the actor on stage and write from that perspective, it would give you a certain advantage in terms of being inside of the play.

Hollywood is geared toward teenage idiocy.

Words are tools of imagery in motion.

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'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.
