Susan is just great. I know I'm biased, but she's a great actress.

You should never try irony or self-effacing humour.

My father described me as the oldest baby he'd ever seen. I apparently was very serious and reflective.

I ran spotlight. Swept up. Did box office. Ran the lighting board. But acting was the most fun.

I'm fairly competant as a director and actor, but I am Mr. Neurotic as a writer. I just don't have enough confidence in my abilities to take criticism well. I take it personally. Start with 'It's a masterpiece,' and then tell me what you think could be changed.

You get money out of acting. You get gray hair out of directing. Actually, I get more of a rush from directing.

I grew up in New York, and I have that in me, that be-honest-at-all-costs, don't b.s. me attitude. I say, If you've got something to say about me, say it to my face. And then we'll either talk about it or fight about it.
