I never know what the hell I'm writing about, I never know what the next thing I'm writing about is, I never have a plan.

The window shades have all been removed. Nighttime is now free to encroach.

I never know what the hell I'm writing about, I never know what the next thing I'm writing about is, I never have a plan.

I mean there’s a certain finality about a movie, when it’s done it’s done – that raised eyebrow in that moment will always be that raised eyebrow. Whereas a play only lives as a blueprint for a performance on any given night. There’s a reason you can eat popcorn and watch a movie and you can’t do that in the theatre. Theatre you have to lean in, you have to tune your ear to the stage and participateI respond to heat. And blood. And humanity. The cold experience is not for me. I’ve always enjoyed all the real people in a room together in the theatre.

What they frequently want to do with a movie is, they want to cut out the valleys and just show the peaks. And valleys are important; the valleys make the peaks stand out.

My last refuge, my books: simple pleasures, like finding wild onions by the side of a road, or requited love.

I like Shakespeare, but I never know what the hell is going on.
