When I'm writing, I look like a fool because the parts are moving through me and I'm crying and laughing and making faces.

If I'm not working, I don't feel complete.

I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.

I think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it's probably a character problem.

I hate going to bed. I read scripts, clean, listen to the radio - I've fallen asleep to 'This American Life' more times than I can count!

I feel lucky to receive such critical attention and praise when you're in a show that's going to last a month, it's just easier when audiences are more receptive. I've done two new shows this year, so I'm always excited to work on something a little older, traditional and structured.

I took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.
