I'm not a poet. I wish I was a poet but I'm not. I'm a playwright. And so I have a different set of antecedents.

We all romp about, grieving, wondering, but with rare exception we mostly remain suspended in the Rhetorical Colloidal Forever that agglutinates between Might and Do.

I love musicals but it's very, very different. It's really just a different form than serious drama, and has very different rules and a completely different set of characters and requirements and ambitions. It maybe shouldn't be as separate as it is, but it's got a different history. In terms of serious drama, I think you'd have to say that you could break it down essentially into the narrative realist tradition and experimental theater.

I'm not religious, but I like God and he likes me.

So I think I'll say the obvious thing: theater is ephemeral. When a production is done, it's gone forever. You can take pictures of it. You can make a film of it. But it's not the production. It's not the same thing.

Respect the delicate ecology of your delusions.

The computer, the noise of the computer feels like impatience. It's sort of the sound of impatience to me.
