I see, in women friends, a really dangerous phenomenon where it seems they reach a certain age and become invisible.

A wedding is for daughters and fathers. The mothers all dress up, trying to look like young women. But a wedding is for a father and daughter. They stop being married to each other on that day.

No one likes kids. We say we do, and we take pictures of pregnant women for People Magazine, but really they're commodities - we hate them around, we hate them on airplanes, we consider them a grand imposition and almost a style choice.

Art is a way of freezing time, or extending time. ... It's another way to bridge the gaps between us.

It was important to me that people know that you can make plays and raise children at the same time - for other mothers, for other parents, for other women considering having children and who want to be working and thinking and contemplating and making things while they're raising children.

It's a privilege to have kids and not live your life in solitude. But we live in a child-hating culture.

Theatre is, at its roots, some very brave people mutually consenting to a make believe world, with nothing but language to rest on.
