Women are beautiful when they're young, and not after. Men can still preserve their sex appeal well into old age.... Some men can maintain, if they embrace it ... cragginess, weary masculinity. Women just get old and fat and wrinkly.

If you're not entertaining, what the hell's the point?

Time wounds all heals.

Well, one of the things we're supposed to be able to do as playwrights is write from a place of empathy, get into another character's shoes and experience things both mundane and tragic. And people don't - like me right now - people aren't necessarily the most eloquent when trying to express their emotions. I guess I feel as a playwright that those people deserve a voice, too, a voice that isn't so articulate that they themselves can no longer identify with it.

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

If you feel like you're in control of everything, and then things aren't going well, you feel like you're failing.

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.
