What I did have was an incredible amount of belief in myself.

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've worked with a lot of really famous people. It stops being weird really quickly. For me, at least.

Most adults get to a point in their careers where they feel secure, where they have a body of work behind them that will ensure longevity, and for actors, it's just not like that. You're basically always a temp, going from job to job.

I'm klutzy, and I don't embarrass easily.

I'm not that interested in writing for myself. That's not where my impetus as a writer comes from.

I think film writing, you're thinking in pictures, and stage writing, you're thinking in dialogue. In film writing, it's also, you only get so many words, so everything has to earn its place in a really economical way. I think for stage writing, you have more leeway.
