There's nothing regular about my life at all, really. I don't keep a regular schedule and every day is different. It's all rather chaotic.

From being a writer of plays, it was not that surprising that somebody thought of giving me a job as an actor. After I played one part, others came along.

Sleep: a poor substitute for caffeine!

My style as a human being is to indulge people who need to escape, yet I insist on confronting them as a playwright. It's quite embarrassing, it's quite unpleasant, it's quite awkward.

I have more free time than a lot of individuals, so, instead of talking, I sometimes write.

I grew up. I began to think the United States had some problems that really required the help of artistic people to solve. And I gave myself permission to be a writer instead of a civil servant.

I spend most of my time thinking about things like laundry and buying stationery supplies.
